Hello bxer's
I'm taking the Roast Profiling and Cupping course at Boot Coffee this December. Just wondering if anyone has some insight they could share on the course, possibly some other things in San Fran, and what a Midwesterner like me can expect out on the west coast.
Please help us spread the word about our Kickstarter project
When my fiance and I moved back to his hometown of Finleyville, PA last year, we were shocked to learn that there wasn’t a single coffee shop in our new town. In fact, the proximity between the two closest coffee shops is over 10 miles with Finleyville right in the middle.
It is a dead zone for a decent cup of coffee.
So, within a few days of settling in (ok, it was actually before we even unpacked the car), I was already pitching him my ideas for opening a coffee place.
I haven’t stopped since. I should also mention that coffee is pretty much my thing. I went to graduate school for English, but ended up working as a barista (shocking) and realizing I loved it, but that is a story for another day.
Anyway, It didn’t take long before I was pitching my coffee shop idea to everyone I saw. The UPS driver, my fiance’s grandmother, our neighbors, the cashier at the gas station, and basically every other Finleyville resident that would listen. We talked to a pretty diverse group: construction workers, contractors, carpenters, small business owners, commuters and even the Chief at the local volunteer fire hall, but they all told us the same thing: “you need to make this happen.”
So here we are, about to launch a kickstarter project to try to fund our dream. We should be launching tomorrow, we will keep you updated!
The crisp fall weather has us craving the bite of fresh apples and the decadent warmth of our Precious Divinity Spiced Chai. As it turns out, these classic autumn flavors pair more perfectly that the words “Trick-or-Treat.” You can prepare the recipe below for a single serving, scale it up for a full moon party, or really bring out the spirits by adding an ounce of spiced rum to this pleasing potion. We call this chai spiced cider the Haunted Divinity Apple Spider.
Preparation-
Stir 4 tbsp MOCAFE™ Precious Divinity Spiced Chai into 8 oz of steamed tart apple juice.
