Goodbye Panama, Hello Good Story...

This weekend marked the end of the epic Esmeralda story...we used up the last of it when 7 people in 2 days finished it off. Ethan Gipp (Toby) had his 3rd and final cup, Matt Kayser, Ben Claudin, Derek Ryan, Ryan Donnely, Kurt Carlson, and a guy named A.J. whose last name I don't know all took part in finishing it off.

A total of 36 cups of this delectable bean were sold most of which were sold at $12 a cup. The last 10 or so we're sold at $10 a cup. The grand total that we came away with was $280. If you include the fact that 2 extra bottles were purchased at $80 each in order to expand the money a bit more than Jeff and I's original investment of $80 turned into $420. Not bad for just selling some delicious coffee and making a fun story of it.

Iuventis is gathering Nov. 7th to see how much total money was raised between everyone's respective creative money making ventures. We will decide at this meeting what we end up doing with the money.

This has been a lot of fun and thank you so much for anyone who participated. There is still a lot of good coffee to try and you can come visit me whenever you like at Copper River. There is still a good story happening the coffee industry and I'd love to tell anyone about it and get as many coffee nerds trained up that I can so we can make this world a better place by paying farmers across the world what they're worth while also enjoying a delicious caffeinated beverage.

Keep working to be a part of the redemption of all things. We are all living a story. Keep working to make that the best one possible! Stay tuned to hear more about mine...

...The Redemption of ALL Things...
