I’ve been drinking coffee and tea all my life, since I was about ten. It’s always had a hold on me, remaining a constant part of my daily existence.

Much as I might think I could – there’s just no way I could ever stop drinking coffee and tea. I’ve finally given up the remote thought of ever quitting and as a result…

have turned my life over to the god/dess of specialty coffee and tea..

Please join me as I journey deeper into this brave new world of coffee and tea. My quest is part professional (with a contract to be the social media voice of Coffee Fest) and part personal growth.

This blog – Leaf & Berry – is where I will detail the adventures, knowledge-immersion and stories of my coffee and tea journey. It is my hope that those in the hospitality industry, those in the coffee/tea world and regular joe/jane’s will find some amusement, some knowledge share – that I am able to at least minimally delight or intrigue you here.

And with that, I lift this cuppa joe at Spring Creek Coffee House in Milwaukie Oregon in salutations to you… here we go….
