From the Alma-Vault: "Out Trip to Australia! (2018)"
Before we hired our Digital Media Manager, Kelley, to write blogs for Alma, our co-owners Harry and Leticia updated our Alma-nac blog with important company announcements and occasional updates from their latest traveling adventures. These pre-Kelley blogs ranged from their time starting Copan Coffee Roasters to the first year of Alma Coffee's existence.
Following a re-branding and website update, these specific blogs were removed from the website and moved into the "Alma Vault": a top-secret, encrypted file storage location hidden deep in the depths of the Alma Coffee website where old blogs and limited edition roasts are permanently stored.
However, just like with the Disney Vault, we occasionally parse through these old postings for inspiration, and we recently realized that an occasional "From The Vault" blog post might be a good way to peer back to a simpler time when our business was first getting started.
This week we want to introduce you to an old blog post from October of 2018 titled "Copan Coffee Take Australia." This was such a cool original post by Leticia, and showed the raw enthusiasm Leticia and Harry both had (and still do) for this coffee business.
COPAN COFFEE TAKES AUSTRALIA
Why Travel 20 hours to go Down Under? You Guessed it...coffee!
The idea to go to Australia started with a great fare deal through Delta. It was a once in a lifetime deal, so we had to go. Australia has a massive coffee culture: Big coffee chains virtually don't exist in Australia simply because Australians prefer to shop local, so we knew we'd feel right at home.
What was our Objective in Coming to Australia?
With our Harvest at Finca La Unica and Finca Terrerito less than a month away, we wanted to introduce the Australian coffee roasting market to how great our Honduran green beans were!
We brought samples of our green bean and handed them out to local roasters interested in adding Honduran coffee to their menu. Additionally, we wanted to get inspiration for the retail side of coffee--In case you didn't know, Copan Coffee Roasters (CCR) will be having a retail coffee shop and roastery very soon (we are working on putting final build out plans together), and we wanted to get international inspiration.
We thought, "where better than Sydney & Melbourne, home to many of the world's championship baristas?" and we were right!
Where Do We Hope This Leads?
For us, traveling to Australia is huge! I mean, can you imagine Honduran coffee farmers bringing green bean samples of THEIR coffee 20 hours by plane to Australia?
We are truly blessed to be able to do what we do, and, as such, we take our responsibility in representing Honduras, Honduran coffee, & Honduran coffee farmers seriously. Meeting roasters face to face, talking to them about the CCR difference & how they can be a part of that difference, and then handing them our green been product is something that is simply NEVER done!
It is our hopes that these steps help coffee farmers worldwide by continuing to encourage roasters to buy green bean directly from farmers.
Want to Help with the Copan Coffee Difference?
Keep spreading the word about us, our coffee, and how we are changing the coffee industry for the better! Each new connection we make is an opportunity to bring awareness about the importance of direct trade in coffee.
Until our next trip down under, thanks for supporting our direct-trade coffee mission!
We hope you enjoyed this select vintage blog post written in 2018 by our very own Leticia Hutchins! We'll occasionally parse through the Alma-Vault to find treasures like this, but for now: how do you think their green bean international sales trip went? Did Copan Coffee Roasters, now known as Alma Coffee, acquire any Australian roasting clients? Let us know in the comments what you think!

Good day everyone. I want to use this medium to share how Dr Marcus helped me to win the lottery of $1 million. First my name is Frederick Perry from Erwin. I always read stories about people winning the lottery all the time. And I always say to myself this will be me someday. I was on Facebook when I read a story about a big lottery win by a lady called Marie Holmes. How she got helped by a man called Dr Marcus, I wrote an email to the address attached to her testimony. I got feedback a few days later that he’s going to help me win. But I have to provide all he requires, which I did. One week later he told me everything was done and that I should go buy a $10 scratch-off card. I went to the shop at Triton Quick Mart on East Jackson Boulevard in Erwin. I played and I won one million dollar top prize “I couldn’t believe it” so spell still works. All thanks to you doctor. You made my dream come true. You can reach him at drmacusspellcaster@gmail.com or WhatsApp him +2348110492028 I am forever grateful.
As a military officer, I approach challenges with a strategic mindset, relying on discipline, training, and a commitment to mission success. However, nothing could have prepared me for the deception I encountered while investing in cryptocurrency. Like many, I was drawn to the promise of significant returns and the innovative nature of digital assets. I believed that my analytical skills would help me navigate this new landscape, but I quickly learned how easily even the most vigilant can fall victim to fraud. I lost over $50,000 to a fraudulent broker who operated with a façade of professionalism and credibility. Initially, everything seemed legitimate. The broker’s website was polished, their marketing materials were compelling, and the testimonials appeared genuine. As I invested more money, I felt a sense of excitement and optimism, convinced that I was making sound decisions. However, it all came crashing down when I attempted to withdraw my funds, only to find that my requests were met with delays and evasions.The frustration was overwhelming. I felt not only a sense of financial loss but also a personal failure. As someone who has dedicated my life to serving and protecting others, it was difficult to accept that I had been deceived. I spent countless hours researching and trying to understand how I could recover my investments, but each lead seemed to lead me further into a maze of deceit. The emotional toll was significant, and I was left feeling uncertain about my future. Just when I thought all hope was lost, I discovered Rapid Digital Recovery. Their reputation for helping victims of financial fraud caught my attention. After reaching out, I was met with a knowledgeable and empathetic, Rapid Digital Recovery who understood the complexities of my situation. They carefully assessed my case and outlined a clear plan of action, giving me the guidance I desperately needed. With their support, I was able to recover 95% of my losses, a result I once thought was impossible. This experience has been a profound lesson in the importance of vigilance in financial matters and the value of seeking help when necessary. The world of investments can be fraught with risks, and it’s crucial to remain cautious. I now urge others to be careful with their investments; not everyone is trustworthy. Always conduct thorough research, and when in doubt, consult professionals who have a proven track record. It’s a lesson I will carry with me, both in my professional life and personal finances.

I’m glad to share how Rapid Digital Recovery helped me during a difficult financial situation. After investing with Coinberry, I faced a major setback when I nearly lost $40,000 worth of Ethereum. As a doctor in Memphis, balancing my career and caring for my six-year-old daughter is already a challenge, and this incident added significant stress to my life. When I first discovered that my funds had been transferred to various soft wallets without my consent, I felt a wave of panic and frustration. The complexity of the situation left me feeling helpless, and I knew I needed expert assistance to navigate this issue. That’s when I found Rapid Digital Recovery. From the moment I contacted them via EMAIL: contact @ rap iddigitalrecove ry. org, I was impressed by their professionalism and expertise.

Rapid Digital Recovery utilized advanced tools and techniques to trace where my Ethereum had gone. They kept me updated throughout the process, providing reassurance and clarity when I needed it most. Their diligence and commitment were evident, and it was clear that they had a solid strategy in place for recovery. Within just a week, I received the incredible news that they had successfully traced and recovered my lost funds. The relief I felt was indescribable; it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. This experience not only saved me a significant amount of money but also restored my faith in the possibility of recovering lost assets in the crypto world. I learned a valuable lesson about the importance of due diligence and having reliable resources when dealing with cryptocurrency. I can’t stress enough how grateful I am to Rapid Digital Recovery for their support during this challenging time.
