Hi Kate!
Just wanted to let you know that Boat received her coffee at long last via
the temporary Display Distribute outpost in Guangzhou where we are
preparing the next episode of Widow Radio Ching on the banks of the Pearl
River Delta.
See pic against the Guangzhou skyline attached.

From: Álvaro Soberanes Subject: Re: news please! Hello Kate,
I have a quotation for shipment, but there are details to change: is about
550 usd. (LCL. Cafe . VOL. 1.87m3 // 420 KGS) (with soher again)
This don´t include transport from Xalapa to veracruz port. I will use tres
guerras trasnport, the quoted 2000 pesos (100 usd aprox)
I´m waiting for custom agents´s prices. (with beristain again)
Permisions for export are on the way (2 ministry of agriculture and 1
tresury-customs), and then i´ll calculate coffee price with accuracy.
Almost there.
kate rich Lost contact with farmer while coffee on its multi-week journey from port of Veracuz MEX to Southampton UK via Hamburg, in the dutch registered container ship ALDEBARAN https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/245882000. Veracruz shipping agents SFW luckily supplied the missing paperwork although a mini bureaucratic panic ensued when the ALDEBARAN docked 10 days before expected in Felixstowe, perhaps due to a speed trans-shipment in Hamburg, with trader still lacking the commercial invoice required for customs clearance UK side despite supplying phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, export declaration, bill of lading & maritime instructions card. Fortunately the invoice documentation arrived with speed from the forwarder SFW in Mexico, only for trader to be advised that the shipment was being held by Port Health for unknown inspection, which was done of course at the trader's expense of £104.59. After Port Health release the shipment then jumped through a mindwarp of bureacratic hoops due to technicalities in the documents (forwarder error), draft document only of the HBL waybill supplied (forwarder refused to update, then relented) & news from Hamburg that forwarder had put the whole shipment on hold complaining of incomplete payment. A 29-email exchange with UK freight agent JAGFS helped unravel the crazed train of supply. Eventually trader texted the farmer in Mexico & all was mysteriously resolved, coffee trucked to the roaster Coffee Compass in Littlehampton on July 20th.
