Back for the Holiday Season!

Yippee! After quite the time away from my favorite profession, I will be "guest barista"-ing at my favorite local cafe!!! (aka I am picking up some shifts because I know the owners and am dirt-poor- but it *IS* really my fav!)

Check in for updates, stories, and gossip galore!!!!

Love and Espresso!

Elida Estate, how I love you...

The cafe I frequent (now that I am not actively barista-ing) just got in an origin I haven't had the pleasure of enjoying for the last 3 years! I was so stoked about the possibility of having my delicious Panamanian Elida Estate that I went out of my way to come and enjoy it.

And it did not disappoint. The creamy, mildly dark cherry and walnut oil notes were all there.As it cooled, a rich light chocolaty-ness took over and I was able to drink it have it was cold! This rarely happens.

So....3 BIG CHEERS for Flying Goat roasters (which this cafe uses) for hooking them- and in turn me- up with my Elida Estate. I will be back, oh yes, I will be back.
