One of the joys we have is meeting new people who are interested in joining the world of specialty coffee and working with them to help understand coffee and espresso fundamentals. Today we had the privilege of working with Lena and Nicole who are opening East Avenue Coffee House in Wenonah New Jersey.
It’s always refreshing to see enthusiastic people wanting to learn good fundamental skills in espresso drink preparation and Lena and Nicole had more than their share of enthusiasm. They spent the day working with Chris on espresso extraction and milk steaming techniques and will be working with Katie in a couple weeks on latte art and building drinks. This foundation will be so important for them and we are really excited for East Avenue to become one of the premier coffee destinations in South Jersey.
So keep an eye out for there grand opening and stop by East Avenue in Wenonah when you have a chance.
We also cupped two great coffees today one was our Mexican Chiapas Fair Trade Organic which really sparkled with spice and floral tones. This is a perfect coffee to enjoy with your pumpkin pie after Thanksgiving dinner.
Also on the table today was our Raccoon Creek Blend which was deep and intriguing with winey tones. Soft berries and chocolates rounded out this coffee.
