When you take your headphones off, pausing NPR, so your can order your ice americano in a personal cup at the cafe vita at kexp and to find out your favorite song is playing and you and the barista kinda sing along and it’s the most Seattle you’ve felt in a minute.

When we say our coffee has always been roasted by hand, this part of the process is often forgotten. 📸 by Josh Henry.

#Vita30 #TBT rolling in! In our early days on the hill, we used to unload all our green coffee bags by hand. There was no forklift, just one 100-lb bag at a time (and up to 300 bags). Up to four hours of hard work before the roasting process even began.
