Hello Everybody,

So, The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture at the UW in Seattle, is doing a 9 month exhibit on coffee, and this weekend is the Grand Opening!! They've been hanging out in our cafe interviewing with camera crews, photographers, and have asked about a billion questions about coffee! It's actually been a fun experience to have them in the cafe wanting to learn so much about what makes coffee so amazing and what it is exactly that brings all of us together, from the plant and the cherry to the seed, from grower to migrant farm worker, mill operator, to taste tests, cupping, grading, international trading systems, buyers, roasters, baristas, and consumers, it's all here!

There will be lot's of participants and interactive displays, along with coffee tastings and presentations by coffee shops, roasters, and of course your favorite specialty coffee geeks and baristas from Trabant Coffee & Chai!

We will be doing a half hour tasting this Sunday, the 25th, at the grand opening event at the Burke Museum from 11:30-12:00. I'll be wearing my lab coat and we'll be serving up free coffee on the vacuum brewer, and pour overs! More dates and times to come, this is a 9 month exhibit, and we've been invited back to participate regularly!

Tickets are $9.50 for adults and $6.00 for students.

The Burke Museum is on the University of Washington campus at the corner of 17th Avenue NE and NE 45th Street (see link below for directions and more info about this awesome event).

COFFEE: THE WORLD IN YOUR CUP!

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU THERE!!!
