Best memory in your time at the shop?

Break In Day: Dec. 9, 2013.  In the middle of the night someone broke into the shop by shattering a window and stole whatever money we had at the time.  By 6am, friends (from near and far) were in the shop donating money, food, hugs, and laughs.  The shop became a living room - full of family sharing stories.

Most memorable cup of coffee?

Sitting on a porch in the El Jaguar finca in Nicaragua.  Sipping a cup of coffee, staring off into the rainforest as the fog lifted.  One of the most peaceful cups of coffee I've ever had.

Two Truths and a Lie

What's your favorite thing about the coffee family?

Everyone is inspirational; they are authentic; and they are continuously generous.  I learn how to embrace community, serve others, and create culture a bit better each day by watching the 'fam' live their lives.
