By myself, or with my friends or family, the sight, sound, smell, mere idea of coffee--coffee brewing, coffee cups, coffee makers, coffee merchants of any variety--evoke in me the simultaneous sensations of security and adventure, possibility and rescue, risk and respite. After all, what are you presented with upon rising each morning to greet the dawn and begin anew? Your official “Do-Over” Libation: coffee. After being snatched, breathless and grateful, from the eager talons of death in their many and varied guises? Hot, steaming, fragrant coffee (and, if you’re lucky, your blankie). Upon commencement of change-the-world business negotiations? Aromatic, exotic, enticing coffee. As a symbol of hospitality and welcome among strangers? Coffee, dearhearts. Coffee. So, as your roaster--who truly loves her work--let me share with you some coffee information that can only enhance your relationship to the Magical Bean and all it represents.
