Coffee Seminar in Long Beach

What I brought back from Origins was more then just pictures, it was an experience that I am honored to share with everyone. It is my commitment to keep the passion that I felt at the end of day three and try to use it everyday to the best of my ability. Yesterday I was part of an amazing coffee seminar that gave back to the community of Long Beach. This town had severe detestation due to Hurricane Sandy and one of our stores was celebrating its grand re-opening! Partners from all over Long Island and NYC all came together as one to show the pride and passion we have for each other and our communities. Being there I felt the same commitment to the bean that I felt on the farms in Costa Rica. Customers were thrilled to be a part of the seminar and excited that their coffee journey was still going strong! We showcased a roasting table, went through the Roast Spectrum, shared details of our C.A.F.E. Practices, a Recycling table, and the benefits of Starbucks Active. I left Long Beach last night proud to be a partner!
