A coffee tree as a prize - Brilliant!!!

We've been trying to get a coffee tree from our roaster for awhile now - they've got hundreds, you'd think they wouldn't miss one...  too bad we're out of region and can't win it.  But if you gave us one we might switch roasters ;-)

Really looking forward to this competition.  We know you guys will do a killer job as will all the competitors.

See you next Thursday.
