I have recently been working closely with a new ethnabotanical tea company, Misty Mountain Herbals (www.MistyMountainHerbals.com).

About Me:
I am 23 years old, and I have been working in coffee for 6 years. Aside from coffee I also have a passion for ethnobotanical teas and very unique herbs from around the world. I spend a lot of my free time rock climbing and working.
About My Company:
I work both for myself and at a local coffee house, training baristas, consulting and distributing coffee beans, green and roasted, to various coffee shops in the southeast. I do a bit of serving at various events as well, usually for non-profit organizations and fund-raisers. I serve the beans that I represent in sales at these events as well. My results have been infectious as both a barista and as an industry professional.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
I enjoy watching coffee houses come to life and their owners giggle with excitement when their dreams are met.
Sorry to hear that. I will hopefully be aquiring a motor home that will aleviate bills and rent and such. That should help make a barista exchange tour possible for myself.
