I did something pretty exciting recently. I participated in a roasting competition with Bodhi Leaf Coffee located in California. There were a lot of other competitors and we all roasted the same coffee. It was super fun and I'm proud to say I placed in the top 10 and received great feedback from the QA team with Bodhi Leaf. Here's the feedback:
"Competitor,Ā Blake Manning , [score] 86
Great job, Blake š Super dynamic roast, plenty of sweetness and acidity. I personally wrote āno notesā when cupping your roast. Among the top scorers in this round, it was really a toss up of who was going to take the win in the public vote."
Roasting really good coffee is hard. There are so many things that can go wrong in the roast to make you miss your mark, and when I first started Two Pillars Coffee, it was hard to know if I was doing the right things... sometimes it still is š¤£
But it was a really good feeling to get great feedback from professionals in the industry! Thank you for your continued support, and know I'm always improving to bring you the best coffee I can!
