2023 has been beautiful. It taught me many things about being a business owner, being a responsible manager and partner and how to be a better friend. I’m so glad to be doing what I’m doing in coffee, even if it’s in my own small way through roasting or helping out friends in any way with their gigs, pursuing nice coffee experiences together
Every time I send out an order of coffee, or step into the roastery (despite grumbling about waking up on a Saturday), I’m reminded how privileged I am to have done what I’ve loved as a job in some capacity. I believe that’s what the Quarter Life Crisis seeks to answer: finding the time to make something you love work for you and sharing it with others
Merry Christmas from our home to yours. I thank everyone that has ordered online or visited .collective and had our coffee there. I hope to send you a honestly beautiful coffee to you in 2024
