Coffee of the Week

Kenya AA


We are a family business, and nothing says that more than the camaraderie behind the counter and the kids running in and out of the office. This week Archie and I were out front throwing paper airplanes, and after close Caroline loves to do ballet out front. We hope that you feel that sense of community when you come in: that you feel included and accepted here. That’s our goal, to welcome you to our space like you belong.

Last weekend we had a family day at Lower Scotts Flat Lake. The kids kayaked, Trace walked up to the dam, and I sat and read a book. It was a completely relaxing afternoon. I heard mostly bird noises while I was reading, except a few shrieks from my kids. We are so lucky to have so many local outdoor recreation opportunities, within just a few minutes of home.

The leaves are finally starting to change color around here. The liquidambars in front of City Hall look like they’re wearing red caps, and we’ve had several windy days with leaves racing like wild children at the end of a school day. Pumpkin spice lattes are flying out the door, and I’m ordering more hot cups than cold. The seasonal shift is happening, and we’re enjoying autumn this week by featuring our Kenya AA.

This Kenya comes from the central part of the country, and it’s grown in the volcanic soil surrounding Mt. Kenya. Mt. Kenya is Africa’s second highest mountain at over 17,000 feet, and these farms range from 4500 to 6500 feet. This is high grown coffee, with superb flavor. In the cup it tastes of sweet citrus and apricots. It has a medium body that complements the bright acidity.

This weekend will be Dave’s birthday, and since we all love Dave around here, I thought we would embarrass feature him in our employee snapshot this week. He’s not admitting his age, but he has a youthful spirit that relishes life and the people around him. He enjoys good coffee and good beer, so whatever your beverage of choice, raise a glass to Dave. Cheers!
