roasting

Yiching says--

John's Roasting to Order has been picking up. He's had to order quite a few new green coffee recently. When you come into the caffe and see him staring at the roaster and talking to the beans... that's normal, so don't be afriad.

and they were robbed


Ryan who works at the board shop next door came to get coffee today and told us a crazy story.

A guy went in to their shop last night, looked at stuff, and asked Adam (one of the owners of the shop) if he had his size certain style shoes. Adam went to the back room to grab the shoes and when he came out the guy apparently had grabbed a specialty longboard and took off. Adam ran out the door and saw the guy just got out of the buildling.

Adam ran after the guy, only to find that the thief was gone. Ryan said the stolen longboard was top of the line and so far no one has bought one yet.

I felt really bad for the board shop. When their stuff is stolen, they lose hundreds of dollars. I guess my under $100 loss over the stolen jewelry was not that bad... but still, f*(& the scum bag thieves!

stolen

Yiching says--

I just found that somebody stole stuff from my little boutique at the caffe. I picked these great Hello Kitty and other great design steel key chains while we were in Japan.

I put some out and people love them! However I just found out that a 3-piece Hello Kitty and a Star with crystals key chains ($60 value!)were stolen! I'm sad. I try to bring fun and pretty things to people and allow them freedome to browse the boutique, but then these lovely key chains were stolen, along with some other chunky rings a few weeks ago... boooooo!

Booooo the person/people who stole my stuff, and don't blame the language I'm using toward the person/people in my head, I'm just going to gently put those words down as f&*# 'em. f&*# 'em 'til they rot in h&*#.

Zambia AA+ Lupili Estate

Yiching Says--

A lot of the single origin and blend coffee John roasts for the caffe are from South America, but for this week he roasted the Zambia AA+ Lupili Estate coffee from East Africa to be our featured Press Pot Coffee.

The Zambia AA+ Lupili Estate has a bright tangerine acidity in the cup, along with a smooth caramel undertone. It also has a distinctive East African sage/goldenseal flavor in the aftertaste. Delicious!
