| onward transit of FER-1712 from El Coyul arrived Feral Trade 2012-11-30 |
kate rich Met Miel de Coyul producer Edgar Hernandez at Café Café coffee shop downtown Oaxaca, with Los Angeleno Miguel Ramos (stopping over in Oaxaca mid group bike ride from LA to Guatemala) in tow as translator. Local musician Huemac Olivares who uses the agave plant as a musical instrument had recommended the Miel de Coyul production. A transaction for the following week was agreed, Edgar works in Oaxaca but commutes back his family home in Yautapec 3 hours away for the agave production. Following week the agave - packed specifically for feral transport in plastic bottles with tape-sealed lids to foil any liquids inspection exiting Mexico airport - was delivered from Edgar's car boot outside my guesthouse residence. One bottle then travelled to the Oaxaca ethnobotannical gardens for a competitive sugar VS agave cube-cola public taste test, which agave won thumbs up. Final transportation to Bristol via bus, metro, taxi and plane, where it was returned to glass containers for storage.
