In Panama, we grabbed breakfast in Olga's, a regular breakfast cafe by the town of Boquete. I asked for coffee. I didn't expect it to be in that profile that suits my preference. Light roasted with floral fruity notes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f77bcf1bfe837c0a735f14/9b59b6fa-ef90-4057-9e74-bd06c6ea9fa5/tempImagemPlFqO.jpg Blog - Luxury in the convenience of good coffee 2. In Colombia, on our way to catch a flight from Medellin to Pereira, we were early enough to grab some coffee in the airport. Low and behold, a specialty coffee shop, serving pourovers. The barista did well on my chosen origin. I browsed through their roasted coffee and a roasting date was on label. A freakin roasting date on a coffee producing country, may I add. https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/zxmcb09qv0h5pg6kd4gued8phlhvjb monthly 0.5 2022-08-21 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/my-purpose-in-coffee-tasting monthly 0.5 2022-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f77bcf1bfe837c0a735f14/7ecab200-4bf4-4a43-919f-de91cfca0b3c/EC378C67-D22A-40A2-831D-19D760077D09.jpeg Blog - My Purpose in Coffee Tasting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f77bcf1bfe837c0a735f14/fef1e63b-5a1c-4e2e-86c5-bd40afb641c7/4CC6457E-BF58-4225-9581-C34FEB4038CF.jpeg Blog - My Purpose in Coffee Tasting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/1rtye3gtu8x0o2f2lcecr3dpka1frz monthly 0.5 2022-06-20 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/the-immigrant-chose-to-work-in-coffee monthly 0.5 2022-06-13 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/for-the-love-of-coffee-get-over-that-worm-phobia monthly 0.5 2022-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f77bcf1bfe837c0a735f14/2166993b-e5e6-4841-839e-0aa14754fa4d/D2C7E126-BA00-4A8C-9584-EBDAF6A2F2DA.jpeg Blog - For the love of coffee, get over that worm phobia! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/k5voyv9vcpohh8710fibk5loy4wc4b monthly 0.5 2022-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f77bcf1bfe837c0a735f14/3fe4be22-2b2b-485c-93ba-043741634bc2/350517B1-F4CB-4A6F-8BF9-5116C58084E9.jpeg Blog - Slinging shots for your producer - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/repetition-creates-deeper-understanding monthly 0.5 2022-04-28 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/she-is-my-mentor monthly 0.5 2022-05-05 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/pbr56rvhec7r2lzq6vvtvqu7qer95k monthly 0.5 2022-04-09 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/do-we-need-two-ways-to-grade-coffee monthly 0.5 2022-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f77bcf1bfe837c0a735f14/198de5e5-62f1-4d35-b80d-2ff1e4e31e1c/IMG_3686.jpg Blog - Do we need two ways to grade coffee? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/5p3lfu8qcpfpuiqiqws23ftxv4axwz monthly 0.5 2022-04-09 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/organic-is-sustainable monthly 0.5 2022-02-27 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/a-year-of-progress monthly 0.5 2022-01-10 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/the-idealist-says-only-pick-red monthly 0.5 2021-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f77bcf1bfe837c0a735f14/06cfcd3b-307b-49c5-8c42-066040e95836/Only+Pick+Red.jpg Blog - The Idealist says, “Only pick red” - Make it stand out Picking cherries at UCC https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/a-cherry-pickers-story monthly 0.5 2021-11-28 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/0buykd116rubo0td19nefztw9kfaxw monthly 0.5 2021-11-26 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/62aqkrty4e8j9artj5md2vhm8wsxed monthly 0.5 2021-11-26 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/rf5g1ft8odqbv2c1sudbwaw6xivjj3 monthly 0.5 2021-11-28 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/zm0sk2syw5vnck0tenl375xc5i66ni monthly 0.5 2021-11-28 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/9rqjvxrakdo6madf664pu7ru6lpf0n monthly 0.5 2021-11-26 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/cjm4b6t19d0dz0cvaavdquep1zglms monthly 0.5 2021-11-26 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/your-barista-is-a-talkative-introvert monthly 0.5 2021-08-06 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/too-many-paths-to-take monthly 0.5 2021-08-01 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/the-cafe-concept monthly 0.5 2022-01-10 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/edges-ah4h5 monthly 0.5 2021-11-10 https://www.dannisantiago.com/blog/walkabout-fe4cy monthly 0.5 2021-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f77bcf1bfe837c0a735f14/c4f25369-b536-4bf7-ad07-289abf8310b6/tempImage06TmdS.jpg Blog - Ode Brew Grinder.

The goal of every single cup to brew is to give justice to the craftsmanship of producers & roast masters while serving with the highest level of hospitality standards. The team will be well educated about everything in coffee. There will be home brewing programs till roasting lessons available for people to learn, and engage with other enthusiasts, to create an inviting & welcoming society for both hobbyists and professionals. At the moment that the cafe serves as a model to practice good business practices for other aspiring and current cafe owners, I would want to consult and help them achieve the type of “sustainable” coffee shop system on their own, while making the most out of the resources in their area.
