Over the past two months, I have had the opportunity to volunteer with a company here in El Salvador, named Cuatro M. Although many faceted, they operate a coffee milling and exporting business in Santa Ana, and have given me the chance to shadow, and experience firsthand, life on a coffee farm. I am really amped for all that lies ahead, and am thankful to the owner, Emilio Lopez Diaz for exposing me to a side of coffee I never knew.
My hope is to feature excerpts from a coffee farm, mill, and roastery, about the life, work, treasure and toils within them. I want to tell of the coffee trees and the bramble, of the beauty I keep fresh on my mind, and of the four, white-lined, criss-crossing scars on my left arm, reminding me both are real.
