Good to hear from you, I know we all love bemoaning the weather it's a national pastime!
Really glad you enjoyed the El Salvador, we are just moving to a new estate so exciting times trying it and nailing the roast profiles.
August would be fine, we are in Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm, only thing is 22nd I should be off to Indonesia to visit coffee plantations and source the cream of the crop for next years stock - will be there until the 1st so hopefully you would be in the area before the 21st.
I will be in and around Hebden Bridge from the 17th - the 22nd of August so the timing is good.
Do you mean you are moving to a new place for your business/roastery?
I can't guarantee I'll be able to make it to Halifax 100% as I'm not going to have my own car (we'll be travelling over the peak district in someone else's and I'm kinda looking forward to not having to drive), but I remember the train is an easy hop from Hebden Bridge up to Halifax, as last time we were cat-minding my friend's kitty we met some people in Halifax. But I might get outvoted on where we visit.
But, I've been promised the car for one full day, as I want to walk up to Stoodly Pike and show my girlfriend the amazing views up there :)
Like I said, she's a 'coffee nut' like myself so we'll probably end up dropping by on whichever day I get the car b4 I drive up to the reservoir by Cragg Vale.
I know you work very hard with 'WhiteRoseCoffee' But I have to admit I feel a wee bit of jealousy when I see all the awesome places you get to visit to source the different bean suppliers ☕😂
I hope you do get a few free days in these places to take in some sights and experience the culture.
I used to travel a lot more and miss it as I've not been on a proper backpacking adventure for a while.
Anyway, I'll make sure it is before the 21st (and I'll try pinging you on Discord or commenting on one of your posts when I'm 100% what day we can make it) 👍
P.s. I know this is a bit cheeky, but if you're not too busy that day, could we have a look at the roastery area and learn a bit more about how the roasting process works from you? Both I and my girlfriend would be fascinated, to learn the different processes.
All the best @c0ff33a 🙂
