Mixtape

Mix-tape by Gabriel Ramirez Acevedo First Place Writer’s Block Magazine Flash Fiction Competition 2021. As published in Writer's Block Issue 46 , Summer 2021   Michael sits cross-legged on the guest room’s wooden floor, facing a white ar­chive box marked with a big neon MTV sticker. He had briefly seen it twice before: once, in 2008, when Caril moved into his small studio in downtown Albany, and then years later when they scaled up to this townhouse just outside the city. He had asked what was in it and on both occasions she said they were old memories from “before his time”, with a sweet smile. He never saw the box again until he found it at the back of the closet today. It had been four sleepless nights, searching for a clue that would explain something, anything, of why she was simply gone.

¿Cuál café de Colombia?

Fotografía por Hector Mesa Se habla en el mundo del gran Café de Colombia, del “mejor del mundo”. Pero, ¿qué es realmente el café colombiano? Se habla de este producto como si el café que produce nuestro país fuera sólo uno, cuando en realidad es una mezcla no controlada de diversos tipos de café que se producen en el país. Aquí, aún no nos hemos dado cuenta del valor que tendría promover iniciativas como la legislación alrededor de las llamadas denominaciones de origen, que permitirían la estandarización en la producción de nuestro afamado café. Para lograr una explotación real de todo el potencial del café colombiano, sería conveniente primero crear una conciencia interna alrededor de este producto. Los consumidores tendrían que empezar por conocer que distintas regiones del país producen distintos cafés; o que hay que tener ciertos cuidados durante los procesos de molido o de preparación de la bebida para que sus características sean del nivel adecuado. El problema apare...
