The cup:

Hand-thrown by Ayers Pottery in Hannibal, Missouri.

The coffee:

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters’ Finca Dos Marias Estate coffee, grown in the cloud forest of San Marcos, Guatemala. Not a high-strung, nervous Guatemalan (like you’d find in Antigua or Huehuetenango) but instead a round, very mellow profile. Its flavor offers hints of dark cherry, vanilla and root beer. Remarkable creamy body. Sweet finish. Plays well with others… ’specially vanilla bean ice cream.

I had the great fortune to visit the estate in January… a magical place. The farm-owning family is extremely progressive… putting the farm-workers first with a fabulous school, medical clinic, land grants and housing. They’ve set aside 700 acres as a bird sanctuary for the Quetzal, Guatemala’s nearly mythical (and nearly extinct) national symbol.

Good people. Good coffee.
