Coffee is life.
According to hubpages.com, the world’s most popular drink
(excluding water) is coffee. If you were to take a look around in your day to
day life, you will notice that you can barely take a step without running into
something involving coffee. Coffee is in the workplace, on the counter in the morning, on your plane ride for vacation, at the gas station just around the
corner, on the table during a great conversation with friends, and you
know that there is an abundant amount of coffee down at the local café.
When I was just four years old, my father offered me my
first sip of coffee as he was preparing to head out for a business meeting. At
this stage, I was not used to the idea of
a drink that was hot, so the coffee quickly burnt my tongue making me spit it out all over my dad’s business attire. Since then my
taste buds have matured, and I have gained an extreme appreciation for the world’s most popular drink. During the last
10 years, I have explored a whole wide range of different coffees. I have tried
many mochas, iced frappuccinos, warm lattes, shots of
espresso, and, of course, many basic cups of
black coffee. I have changed from month to month on how I like to make my morning joe. For instance, at one stage I may have been very into
iced coffee, or lattes, or for several months I may have preferred americanos. At one time I was also into different kinds of shots of espresso. However, recently I have
become very interested in trying coffee from all around the world and gaining a
better understanding of what each country’s coffee taste is like. My current drink
I prepare in the morning is what is called, in barista terms, a “black
eye”. A “black eye” is simply a drip
coffee (which is currently Java Jennings +Full City Rwanda Roast) and a shot
of espresso.
From a young age, I have always had the entrepreneurial spirit reside in me. I was always telling my dad
about all the visions I had to start different kinds of companies when I became
older. When I was around 12 years old, I started and ran a lawn care company around
my neighborhood to help make a little extra cash. During this time I was
blessed to have gained a lot of knowledge on how to interact with customers and the essentials to running a business. However, at this young age, I was not the smartest
with how I dealt with my money. I was able to blow through the cash I earned
pretty fast at the local coffee shop. It was at this age I really started to
gain a passion for coffee, and the way coffee could incorporate its way into a
person’s life. I began to dig deeper into the passion I had for coffee and
learn as much as I could about creating an amazing cup of coffee. It was around
this time that I started to have dreams and aspirations of eventually running
and operating my own coffee house. Recently I realized that it is never too
early to start your career. So even though I am still in college, my father and I decided to embark on a journey to share our passion for coffee with others through Jennings Java Coffee Roasters.
It is my hope that you will
join us on a journey filled with passion and excitement, and incorporate
Jennings Java Coffee into your daily life. I believe that Jennings Java Coffee
speaks for itself in the terms of quality, and you won’t be disappointed.
Feel free to message me with
