Luxury in the convenience of good coffee

Two experiences during my Panama-Colombia trip that made my eyes sparkle:

1. In Panama, we grabbed breakfast in Olga's, a regular breakfast cafe by the town of Boquete. I asked for coffee. I didn't expect it to be in that profile that suits my preference. Light roasted with floral fruity notes.

2. In Colombia, on our way to catch a flight from Medellin to Pereira, we were early enough to grab some coffee in the airport. Low and behold, a specialty coffee shop, serving pourovers. The barista did well on my chosen origin. I browsed through their roasted coffee and a roasting date was on label. A freakin roasting date on a coffee producing country, may I add.

These unique instances made me smile. Why?

Drinking good coffee honestly makes me feel rich enough (in happiness terms), and to not make an effort to hunt for good coffee around, is perhaps a beautiful surprise, and for me, a luxury experience that I am not to take for granted!
