Just remeber to sign up earlier!
LONG TIME NO CHAT...
WOW, we are really horrible at this whole blogging thing aren't we? Well I am going to try and fix that with trying to blog at least once a week. I mean that’s not too much to ask of myself. And I know I can find something to talk about, whatever it may be, coffee or just random stuff. I don't want to bore everyone to death talking about coffee all the time. I mean it's really interesting and there's lots to say about it but lets be honest there's a lot more going on in the world that doesn't involve coffee. And I know you all have some crazy opinions on stuff and I would totally like to hear about them.

Gesha
Oh boy, oh boy, do we have something exciting for all you coffee lovers! We have just received a (very small) shipment of Panama Esmerelda Especial Gesha. For those who don't know, this coffee is from the same farm that just broke a record in the latest "Best of Panama: competition. We are talking about a selling price of over $130 per pound green beans!!! Is any coffee worth that type of coin? Well that's for you to decide.
Now the our shipment is not from the competition lot (and was not $130) but it is from the same farm and the same cultivar. Let me tell you, this coffee will knock your socks off. I could try to describe it here, but words really don't do it justice. Just come in a try it! It's not often you get to try a coffee of this caliber.
What's the damage you ask? Well you can try this coffee two ways; you can brew up you very own four cup pot in our fantastic Eva Solo brewer for a mere $18 or we are taking deposits on 227 gram bags that retail for $19.99. These retail bags will be custom roasted and ready for pick up on Aug 30. As they say in all those crazy car commercials, Hurry! Quantities are limited!
Come by and see us for more information.

Situated in our small town, up the road from the quaint ice cream store, across the street from early 1800's red brick post office, is our barista cove: THE ONE RED CHAIR.
With such character, such coffee, and such conversation, our coffeehouse not only provides the best the coffee in town (north of Toronto), best blossoming baristi, but jamming small town gossip topped with humour that even makes Mike blush, and make us all laugh.
There is no other experience in the world than educating the customer on what makes direct trade coffee better than direct trade coffee, what the heck latte art is, the size difference between a cappucino and a latte. I love watching little kids with whip cream moustaches smiling back at me, individuals wanting to watch a roasting, participating in a cupping, and debating on whether they want to try a new drink or stick with their favourite.
I am a Bradfordian, born and raised. Nothing will ever change my Bradford bones. With certain quaint stylistic advances, like new places to hang like our ONE RED CHAIR, the quaint bookstore, ice cream shop, and a new italian restaurant, I am proud of my town more than ever.
And proud to be a part of this great coffeehouse, and becoming a "Master Espresso in Training", working alongside professional baristi, and drinking Intelligentsia Direct Trade coffee.
Now, I take sips at other places and compare coffees. Everything else is watered-down, dry, and dead. Yes, coffee can be dead. But drinking our coffee is like hiking through a South American jungle, listening to the sounds of exotic birds, falling in love with the canopy of trees, and being face-to-face with a tiger. Everything is happening around, yet a peaceful ambiance washes over, soothing the soul at the same time.
till I write again,

Hang out and send a starving barista to origin!
Yo dudes,
Believe it or not, baristas enjoy company... So come hang out! For some reason, we seem to like making drinks for people. I know, crazy eh? Well, since we do our part and make you your delicious beverages when you want them, it's time for you to do yours and make our days exciting. So just come hang out. You don't even have to buy anything, just coming to chillax is cool. We have decks of cards, so you can come and play some euchre or crazy eights with your friends. We even have a computer with internet that you can use for free! (I'm actually using it to write this) Some younger people even like bringing in their laptops to do some studying for school. So this is not only the coolest coffee shop EVER, but it is also the coolest hangout ever.
Next on the list is the tips! We looove tips ;) Not that i'm trying to push you to give them or anything... The tip jar (or tin in our case) is being deposited into a bank account that will eventually be put towards a trip for as many baristas as possible to go to an origin country to check out the coffee farms. These countries include guatemala, New Guinea, Kenya, etc. So please be generous, and have a heart. Send a starving barista to origin (yes i'm tyring to guilt the tips out of you).
*Insert picture of unhappy starving barista here*
Rock on,
Mr.Linea
