We made it to the Eastern Shore of Virginia (Exmore) late at night to celebrate the Thanksgiving Holiday with family. This morning, I brewed some of the expertly-roasted precursors to exquisite elixir that we purchased from Scott, the owner of Ogeechee River Coffee Company; the Brazil Cerrado was a big hit this morning! Nice rustic fruit in silky-bodied chocolate ... oooh!
Stopping by to see Scott at his Ogeechee River Coffee Company was a fantastic way to start this vacation; I feel like we stopped in for a visit with family. Scott was so welcoming and Lisa's brilliant personality obviated the need for interior lighting! Even Wyatt, my 41/2 year old enjoyed it. I got a tour of the shop, which is beautiful, a fine double espresso pulled by Scott himself, a great lunch and two thermoses full of a delightful Ethiopia Kafu for the second half of the trip. If any of you are ever in the Statesboro area, just outside Savannah, Georgia or surrounding areas, you must stop by and visit. Buy some of his roasted coffees as they are excellent! We bought four bags of Scott's coffees to supplement the home-roasted coffees we brought with us. And, in case you missed it, here is the link to the article that was recently written about him and his coffee shop: http://www.statesboroherald
We did get a couple of pictures. Next time we will have to make time to be able to do some roasting too.
Scott, thank you again and please tell Lisa the same!
