Kikombe is a cup in kiswahili - and in the case of this blog of mine it is a coffee cup. i am working on a specialty coffee project in Kenya, which aims to reduce poverty among small coffee farmers by helping them enter the specialty coffee market. This is a great project and really fun to work in. One of the perks is to taste and drink some really great coffee.
Perhaps if there is anyone out there interested in following a rural development project, which has direct connections with the gourmet coffee drinkers over the ocean you may like to keep a track of this blog and get a feel for how a really good cup of coffee is really made! There is a lot of work involved long before the coffee reaches any boiling water! There are also great people trying to make a living out of growing this crop. They have children to feed and educate, and they also have to think about their old age.
This is their story too.
