Can special dietary needs be met on Just Coffee Delegations (vegetarian, began, gluten free, diabetic, etc.)?
-There is generally vegetarian food options available on delegation trips. Depending upon our destination, most restaurants that we eat at are accommodating and often offer something vegetarian and even vegan. When staying out in coffee growing communities it can sometimes be more difficult if you don’t eat any meat, chicken, fish, or meat broths. If you are at all flexible on this issue, then this may be the time to be. We are generally treated as honored guests and therefore are sometimes specially presented with meat. When we do stay in communities we can bring extra food and snacks in case there isn’t something that suits your dietary requirements. Before traveling into community our group will discuss this topic further as well as ways to be most polite when sharing meals. For trips to East Timor being vegetarian is much easier as most locals in Timor-Leste rarely eat meat.
