I strongly invite you to listen, and above all subscribe, to this podcast which revolves around coffee. A creation by Mr. Sébastien Blondeau which adds to the French-speaking café culture in Quebec.

I'll tell you an anecdote. I was on vacation somewhere in Quebec. In a restaurant ranked #1 according to trip advisor, really good, the food was good, good service. When I got to dessert, the waiter offered me a coffee.
I then ask him what coffee he serves, he answers: fair trade coffee.
Last November 28, I had the knife between my teeth for the Cup of Excellence Brazil auction, Pulped Natural.

I prepared myself psychologically (and fiscally) to buy a coffee at this year's Cup - of - Excellence . By the end of the year there will be auctions for the premium lots from Costa Rica, Honduras and Guatemala in June and Brazil (Natural + Pulped natural) in December.
let's have a coffee!
