Spring has sprung and we find ourselves traveling again to the Southern Part of the United States. This time, we prepare ourselves for yet another excursion to the Lone Star State to meet with friends old and new. Did you know that the name Texas is derived from Tejas, the word for friends in the Caddo language? We didn’t either, but thank heavens for Wikipedia.

We hope to see you at Coffee Fest Dallas 2016! The show runs from June 10-12th at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, and you can find us at booth #201. We’ll be serving up fresh pots of available lots in our Houston position; come by and get a taste of the following:

36279 – Guateamala Huehuetenango Palhu 
35989 – Ethiopia Yirgacheffe 1 Idido
36574 – Mexico Oaxaca Pluma San Agustin 
36196H – Sumatra Ketiara Mandheling GrainPro
35491H – Tanzania Ruvuma Peaberry GrainPro
36446 – Yemen Mocca Sanani

Can’t wait to taste these? Catch up on some our Crown Analyses – it’s the next best thing to drinking these coffees with us at the show.

Also, join us for after-hours libations at The Cedars Social on Saturday, June 11th from 5:30-8:30pm. We will be hosting a happy hour, and nothing would make us happier than seeing all of you there. You can RSVP here, on EventBrite.
