Sat in on some of our barista training. Too cool.

Did you know coffee beans grow between the two tropics–the tropic of cancer and the tropic of capricorn? Learned a little bit about flavor, aroma, body, and acidity. FYI: about 25% of taste is aroma. The old olfactory bulb. You taste with your nose!

It was cool to think about the journey of the coffee bean. We drink a cup of coffee without thinking about how it got in our cup. The journey is pretty amazing–coffee farmer picking cherries, imported through customs, then roasting, grinding, and finally sipping.

I think it’s cool that our barista’s won’t just know how to mix drinks. They have a coffee education under their belt.
