The coffee revolution continues to grow.
A grassroots movement that started in small, independently owned coffee shops is refining what Starbucks gave us:
it’s now an artistic craft – much like that of wine or beer – that uses sustainable, locally roasted, fair trade beans.
Where the beans are grown, how they are roasted, and the brewing process are all looked at closely.
This coffee expertise is growing amongst young people, many using it as training for the culinary world.
As much as a string of fresh rosemary or a juicy, ripe tomato bear a myriad of complex flavors, coffee does, too.
