This blog is DONE. We're on Twitter & Facebook making a blog redundant.
Like analog TV, this station is going dark.

Testimonial

Pretty cool to get an email like this:

...the coffee arrived, and I don't know what magic dust you sprinkle in your espresso blend, but WOW that stuff is amazing. Thanks SO much for the free sample, and even though I use a moka pot to brew it, I honestly got flavors that I haven't had since our trip to Italy. The complex flavors that came out of that roast are superb.

On the other side, the Mexico roast that I ordered is just what the Dr. asked for. I definitely dig a LOT and think that I will be purchasing more of that in the future. I tend to make "normal" coffee in my French Press, and the smells that came from my first pot of this brought a smile to my face.

TMI

The series of tubes commonly known as the internets [sic] has too much junk food in it. Of late, I've gotten sucked into a number of blogs and the dreaded Facebook, not to mention LinkedIn and other time wasters.

This and the act of actually starting a business, raising kids and squeezing in the occasional bike ride has me yearning for more time. Oh and then there's my day job... ugh.

Things are moving, highlights include:
  • The eCommerce site is up www.trailheadcoffeeroasters.com
  • Production is in place and roast profiles are looking good
  • First few recurring orders are trickling in... tiny at this point but tiny is more than nothing ;^)
  • I have a consultant/guide who is taking me on pro bono to get my business to success. This is huge and amazingly lucky.
  • Decaf will become available when the new crop of Cafe Femenino comes in probably in May.
  • Branding is nearly complete and we'll be ready to really pound the streets for business
That's all the news for now.

Tastes great with eggs

Seems the blog algorithm thinks my blog comes in a blue can. I am here to announce that my products will be 100% spam free. In fact, we're organic, sustainable and we're doing great things for the coffee farmers at origin. Check out http://www.cafefemenino.com/ to learn more.
Thanks,
