DEAR JOURNAL,
DAYS IN THE FOLK CAFE ARE MORE THAN JUST COFFEE; THEY'RE ABOUT CREATING A SPACE FOR CONNECTIONS TO UNFOLD. THOSE MEMORIES LINGER, A RICH AROMA FILLING THE PAGES OF THIS JOURNAL.
TODAY, REFLECTING ON THE JOURNEY OF FOLK COFFEE ROASTERS, EVERY STEP, FROM SOURCING BEANS TO ROASTING IN TAURANGA, IS A DANCE OF MEMORIES, A PASSION THAT FINDS ITS WAY INTO EVERY CUP.
I REMEMBER THE SMILES OVER KITCHEN TABLES, THE LAUGHTER IN LIVING ROOMS—A POETRY WRITTEN IN THE QUIET MOMENTS SHARED OVER A CUP OF OUR HOME BREW COFFEE. THROUGH FOLK, I'VE SEEN THE MAGIC OF CONNECTIONS, EACH SIP A REMINISCENT NOTE IN LIFE'S MELODY.
AS THIS JOURNEY CONTINUES, I RAISE MY CUP TO SHARED MOMENTS, ECHOES OF LAUGHTER, AND THE COUNTLESS CONNECTIONS WAITING TO BE BREWED WITH THE BEST COFFEE BEANS NZ HAS TO OFFER. MAY EVERY SIP CARRY NOT JUST THE ESSENCE OF COFFEE BUT THE WARMTH OF MEMORIES IT HOLDS.
