Good Morning, Happy Monday, and Welcome!
I've been playing with this idea for a long time, years really, and it's Monday, so why not. Monday is so full of promise. The whole, new week, new me, mentality. So here goes nothing.
Hi! I'm Jo, as in "Cup of". Although truth be told, I don't know that my parents had this in mind when they chose this name. If they had gone with the other option, Olive, I might have a completely different life. I digress...
I've been professionally pouring coffee for the last 9 years, Most of that while wearing the "Green Apron" (although I moved on to black, and now canvas and leather) and I couldn't imagine another career that could possibly offer me so much love. During that time, I have moved from barista, to shift supervisor, store manager, and in February I packed up my entire life and moved to the motherland to join the team at The Starbucks Reserve Roastery. I was born and raised in Utah, and am now living my best coffee life in Seattle, Washington.
What will follow will be a journey through my eyes into my personal thoughts, feelings and experiences while learning as much as my brain will hold about the world of coffee. Sometimes personal, sometimes professional, but always mine.
For the sake of continuity, I will always title my posts with the day, date, and current coffee. I will try my best to start my posts with my thoughts and personal tasting notes about that coffee. Just in case you feel like following along.
