		<description><![CDATA[Hey Folks,
On August 19-22 I had the privilege of attending the 10th Annual Roasters Guild Retreat at Skamania Lodge in Stevenson, WA. Guild retreats are an amazing opportunity for a number of reasons. While getting the opportunity to attend classes, workshops and gain accreditation, attendees also get to discuss issues with each other, talk shop, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For something so small, espresso shots have a big impact on our lives. They’re the heart of every cappuccino, latte, mocha, and caramel macchiato that we drink. They are the source of our morning energy, and the afternoon boost we need to finish the day. For some of us, a day without espresso is as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Colombia has grown coffee for decades, yet our consumer culture is not as developed as our agronomy expertise and marketing strategies. We produce one of the best coffees in the world, yet we don&#8217;t know our customers. Most of the time, we have consumed low-grade coffees not being able to distinguish between a good cup [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello,
I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about blends lately and how they&#8217;re put together.  Unique and original blends can be a bit elusive and often companies put together blends for the same reasons.  Through interweb conversations and forums one can find a wealth of opinion on what constitutes a good blend and the purpose  [...]]]></description>

I just got back from a week&#8217;s vacation.  I spent a few days up in Seattle and a few just hanging around in Portland.  I can honestly say we&#8217;re doing better coffee in Portland by far (along with a slough of other things that are an entirely separate rant).  Anyway, just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Greetings Dear Readers,
Before it arrives steaming and aromatic in our mugs, coffee goes on a mythical journey.  It begins as a tiny cherry on a remote misty mountaintop stopping in a picker&#8217;s bag, a drying patio, a processing center, a sea-borne container ship, and, ultimately, a green warehouse before becoming the drink we all [...]]]></description>
