The Coffee Collective #02: it has been a busy week
It has been a busy week. Event after event in peak summer. In this week’s newsletter, I cover th upcoming Puerto Rico Cupping in collaboration with ROR Coffee Solutions, the grand opening of bkry, the success of Harvesting Sustainability, the Hadsel Coffee Cupping at Grandmother Coffee Roastery and the Papermill Coffee I have been brewing from The Coffeevine May Box.

Processing can make or break coffee
Imagine this: One origin. One farm. One coffee. Processed 20 different ways. This is exactly what coffee professionals implemented during their trip to Ethiopia earlier this year, a processing adventure at Daye Bensa’s Gatta Washing Station. My finding: CQI - Q Processing Level 2 Professional course is no joke.

The Finest Coffee Tasting Experience by Two Neighbors
I have been invited to multiple coffee tasting events, and like those, I expected the same at Two Neighbors this past weekend — somewhere along the lines of a coffee cupping or a bar side brewing experience. Boy, was I wrong?
