What got you interested in coffee?
Curiosity and adventure to push the limit of coffee options in the market. In my first work experience, I used to get sleepy after lunch and coffee was my answer. The coffee capsule trend just caught on. All the capsules have tasted the same to me. Later we’ve learned that specialty coffee is different, and full of natural flavors and is actually made with just enough love and care. This revelation was the seed of our growing passion in specialty coffee industry.
If you had to choose between Nespresso and Starbucks, which of the evils would you go with? We would go with Starbucks tea offerings. Duah!
One thing you’d add to your roaster if you had infinite funds? We would invest and buy a couple of farms, bring more and more of coffee scoring 90+ and making the coffee producers, competitors and winners of cup of excellence coffees to be the new norm. elixirbunn
