Thanks for listening, following/subscribing, giving us a good review, and sharing with your friends on social media. It goes a long way!
We credit a lot of our success to the Cat and Cloud Podcast, where we learned so many things about the industry, extraction, running a coffee business and more when we were just getting started. It was an honor for Ross to sit down and chat with Jared about all sorts of topics, including green sourcing and roasting, rest, tacos and more. Hope y'all enjoy!
