Thanks for the comments Don. You are right in saying that although the hours are long, its hard to qualify what we do as "work" as such, because it really is just part of life for me now. Indeed I think many of us in the coffee industry probably do not conciously think of a day in the roastery, an hour behind an espresso machine or a week in the mountains as work- and I reckon thats what makes the people in the industry so unique, so passionate and so pleasantly different.
Been a good while since I was in CO, about 16 years now. Passed through Colorado Springs- was actually living and working in Summit County. Very nice part of the US. Let me know if you are interested in any particular origins, will do my best to get some samples to you. Cheers

Hi Don. We are located in West Java, about 50km south of jakarta up in the foothills. We are primarily a roaster and use our unique location to work no direct trade with small hold growers around Indonesia. Lots of travel involved. Get to work with so many different ethnic groups.

Yep - That was our 5th WTE! I think it's a great show and a constantly evolving industry. We actually work with Elisabeth Knottingham from the Teacup and Phil Parda from Zhong Guo Cha from a POS standpoint. I'm looking forward to seeing the show next year.
