Allthough i have been in the coffee industry to one degree or another for many years, my intrest in delving deeper has only recently begun to take flight.
I am intrested in learning about the art and technical aspects of being a professional barista as well as how to be creative with coffee (specifically the merging of the herb world and coffee world through means of infusions).
I love getting people excited and informed about the beverage that they are consuming.

    There was yerba mate in it when i took the pictures. I'm pretty sure Jean Luc would be on the mate bandwagon if he was hanging out in the 2000's.
