Honesty of origin and a “fourth wave”

April 30, 2007 · Filed Under Coffee, Fourth Wave, origin · Comment 

I was doing a little hunting around the web, and came across this little article.

I found it to be an interesting way of looking at things. I also found it sort of offensive in his definition of the 4th wave (to see why, click here)

It seems that in various trade journals and newspapers there is a big deal being made about estate coffees and the “third wave” coffee movement. However, what exactly is an estate, and why do producers and roasters tout their product as “estate” coffee? Michael Baccellieri of the 25-year-old specialty coffee roaster, Longbottom Coffee and Tea, sounds off!

Interesting way to put it.

Reminder

April 28, 2007 · Filed Under Uncategorized · Comment 

The Texas Coffee People logo contest comes to a close on May 5th.

That’s one week from today.

Have your entries ready!

Coffee Candy

I saw one of these the other day, and thought I’d give it a try.  It was new to me.  I had never even heard about it before.

Coffee Crisp

A little Googling informed me that it was not imported into the US until very recently.

A look at the inside:

It tasted just like commodity grade coffee in a wafer bar.  Anyone else try one of these?

Theme Change v2.0

April 26, 2007 · Filed Under Uncategorized · Comment 

The reason?

Well, with the Logo Contest coming to a close very shortly, I think it to be a good idea to have a theme with a customizable header image.

This particular theme has the option, while still retaining the feature of tabbed pages. A winning combination.

The forum header will be updated once the new Header image for the blog is in place. To be finished after the contest. The winning logo will be featured as the main image header, with credits to its creator. Yet another reason to enter.

Dunn Bros. in Houston

April 25, 2007 · Filed Under Retailers, Roasters · Comment 

I got an email from Vicki of Dunn Bros. Coffee in Houston asking to add her shop to the list of Roasters and Retailers.

It says,

Hi,

I came across “Texas Coffee People” for the first time today…. Glad to see there is a site dedicated to “coffee” AND “Texas”. I’m fairly new to roasting having had some formal training in Minneapolis. I’m just beginning to experiment on my own…. I’m having lots of fun….

Any chance I can get my shop added to the list of Roasters & Shops in Texas?

Best Regards,

Vicki

It’s been added. It seems they are also hiring baristas at the moment, for anyone in the area who might be interested.

Each Dunn Bros. location roasts all their coffee in-house. Great concept for a chain.
