I know. It has been all consuming having Lexi here, in a good way. I want to come by this week as I am in AZ again this weekend. I guess you'll just have to put me on the schedule in Sharpie to make me commit to a time/date! :-)

What's up Dismas? How are you doin? Sounds like you opened your own coffee shop? Do you still work with Zoka? How are the competitions going for you? Still doing those?

Feb 20, 2008
Tera Schmeling

Well yep, I've done some judging, that was a lot of fun actually! The pictures are from an event in NYC - how could that NOT be fun? I actually have gone more mainstream with the consulting and training and equipment sales...its something I had always done for people I have met through my cafe (I have one too, its called Brewed Awakening!) and through a company I use to work for but I decided to branch out and started my own company...its called Cafe Technologies. (www.cafetechnologies.com) Its great because we are meeting people and working with people all across the U.S. to help get them open. We offer a training course here in Eugene or we can go on site to the customers location and train their staff...so training or even just equipment, espresso machines, coffee brewers etc. I think its great you have your own shop! I hope its successful for you! So have you had anyone do the barista exchange at your shop?

Dismas, Did you get a chance to check out that yirg?? I'm not so stoked on the Guat right now, I think I'm going to have to tweak it a little. Let me know what you think!

Scott Baldwin

Dismas, hey man.. stopped by the cafe today. Had a great Capp. and bought a bag of Yirg. Was hoping to catch ya working but your barista said you had the morning off. Ohh boy does a Farmer Brothers Truck look funny sitting in front of the numerous coffee shops in Fremont. ha ha. Hope to catch ya next time I swing by. Take care.

Mar 26, 2008
Scott Baldwin

By the way.. I couldnt wait to get home and bust open the bag of Yirg. It was filling the cab of my truck with such great aroma. Reminded me of what quality coffee smells like. And I must thank you for allowing me the chance to get back to drinking Varitals again and enjoying my coffee and not just choking it down to get my morning caffeine. The Yirg was all I expected and more.
