Guests at the Aug. 23 Myanmar coffee tasting at La Colombe Chinatown in Washington, DC.
As toasts and remarks began, local coffee roasters and retailers stood shoulder to shoulder with guests from the State Department and the Embassy of Myanmar, as well as a fair share of reporters from diverse news outlets. Key people in the project came forward to address and share with the crowd how this coffee came to be, and baristas served espresso and brewed coffee using La Colombe Workshop’s Myanmar Min Paung.
