Picked up a new #book. It was the last copy at a reasonable price online so it felt like a good reason to pull the trigger.
Hoping for some insight and #inspiration as I read! Stay tuned…

One of my coworkers has a subscription to “haiz #coffee roasters” in Toyama, #Japan.
Their stuff is really impressive! All the coffees I’ve tried from them have been great quality.

This is a new one… “Uganda African Moon Donkey” making up 51% of a “Specialty Coffee Blend” canned #coffee.
Probably the best canned coffee I’ve had so far! (Even better than a #Geisha Blend they offered a while back 🤯)

“Ibushi” can refer to the action of smoking (as in meats), fumigating, or oxidizing (as in metals)…
For the record, it’s a *touch* smoky 😶🌫️🍻

I’m lucky to be in an industry and a country where I’ve made so many special connections.
I want to celebrate little victories with my coffee/F&B family here in Japan for many years to come!

I live near a wide open intersection with a great view of the #sky.
I grew up in the Midwest and it’s so easy to remember driving on a highway and being mesmerized by the wide open sky.
I wonder if I’ll ever desire to drive those open roads again…
