The Roasterie

On Saturday morning, we woke up bright and early for an 11 AM tour of the Roasterie. This is a small coffee roaster near the Boulevard Brewing company. The tour was very educational and well led, and covered everything there is about coffee. From the history of coffee, to the growing, buying, tasting, roasting, flavoring, and packaging the bean. It was very interesting to hear how the company deals personally with farming families and takes care of their nearby communities when possible.

I'll have to see how much I like their coffee when mine is delivered. I got it online because the gift shop was far too busy after the tour. There were over 30 people cramped into this small building. Apparently, they will move into a bigger building within a couple months, so it is good to hear they are growing. If you care at all about coffee, I highly recommend this tour.
