Additionally, middlemen play an outsized role in moving cherries down from remote highland villages; while these middlemen extend access, they also complicate the link between producer and buyer, making promotion of quality coffee more difficult. The country offers extraordinary coffees, but we are told turning that potential into reliable, traceable supplies remains as challenging as it is rewarding.
