About Me:

A former Anthropology and Third World Development Studies major from Smith college, with a thesis entitled “More than just a Better Bean: Coffee Quality through the Support of Indigenous Agriculture,“ Jackie comes pretty much as close as you can get to having a bachelor's degree in coffee. She’s still trying to convince her parents that said degree was worth the ridiculous amount of money that they paid for it, so she encourages you all to buy lots and lots of Mocha Joe’s coffee.

About My Company:

Mocha Joe's is a small, artisan roaster of specialty, organic, and Fair Trade coffee based in Brattleboro, Vermont.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

It's hold over basically the entire world.
