THIS WEEKS GUEST: SIRI SIMRAN KHALSA, LOFTY COFFEE
For week 4 of the Roast! West Coast podcast I welcome Siri Simran Khalsa, Director of Coffee at Lofty Coffee in Encinitas, California to the show. Siri and I suffered through about a million technical glitches, but we made it! Siri’s passion for coffee, where it comes from, how it is made and how it helps create connections between people really shines through in this interview. I was inspired just listening to her tell her story, and while editing I even got a little melancholy thinking about the random connections that have been missed during the pandemic.
That might be the hardest puzzle piece right now. How do we continue to give our guests really amazing service and keep our team safe and make everyone feel comfortable?

The tasting notes include: Sugar Plumb, Cranberry, Fudge Brownie & Pecan Brittle-so…yeah…I’ll be ordering that.
COFFEE VOCABULARY

Agronomist: A scientist who works in the field of agriculture, and acts as the go-between for farmers and crop researchers.
