Kona is great, but have you ever had 100% Arabica Strictly high-grown gourmet coffee from El Salvador. It's a secret among coffee lovers. It is on par with Kona in flavor characteristics and quality because of the similar environments in which the beans are grown: rich volcanic earth, the right altitude, and mix of sun and shade in a tropical environment. But, it's a fraction of the cost of Hawaiian Kona because El Salvador is closer in distance to many US locations and their crops can flourish on more land. It's the best of both worlds, an unbelievable coffee at a price that won't break your wallet.

That's been our family business for over 50 years and we've been bringing our amazing coffee to the states for the past few years and coffee lovers are getting hooked.

Check out www.omomacoffee.com and try a bag of beans for comparison.

Our coffee is always rich in flavor, yet mild and smooth, with low acidity.

No, I haven't....what would it take for you to send a sample my way? I'll even review it on my blog: http://michiganrafter.blogspot.com and here on FohBoh.

Hi Jennifer.
I was just checking my local roasters list of coffees, here in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada, and he doesn't seem to have any El Salvadoran listed. I'm definitely going to chat him up about the possibility of getting some in as I think it would be an asset to his establishment.
And yes, I did check out your link and found it both interesting and informative, thanks!

Hi Patrick, I appreciate you getting the word out. Please let me know if there is anything we can do to help.
I don't know if you'll be in the area, but we will be exhibiting at the NYC Coffee & Tea Festival on April 18 & 19th. Perhaps you could visit us there. Thanks, Jennifer http://www.coffeeandteafestival.com/

Hi Jennifer.
Thanks for the invite to the NYC Coffee and Tea Festival, but unfortunately, I won't be in NYC until sometime in May...that is if the new store opening that I'm doing is a go and doesn't get pushed ahead to sometime in June. This is one store opening that I'm truly looking forward to doing.
By the way, where is your store or is it only online, would love to visit in person?
Cheers,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Good luck with your store opening. Hope that it happens timely for you. We're only online at the moment. www.omomacoffee.com We're available in some independent gourmet food markets, but not in your area.
Good luck and take care,
Jennifer

I personally have never met a bean I did not like (except the ones claiming to be Decaf) but Kona beans are a little to smooth for me, I need a little more kick. Richness needs balanced sometimes with a dash of bitter to make us recognize the flavor. Some of the best coffee I have had was blended with some Ethiopian, very earthy and bold.
