Since 2017 I have roasted coffee behind my husband’s violin shop in Seattle. This work has been a source of great joy. I enjoyed learning about different coffee origins, visiting farms, designing all my products, and selling fresh coffee and tea. Queen Anne Roasters provided personal growth and income through the Covid lockdowns. My customers have come from throughout the US and military abroad. Meeting each of you through email and orders has been wonderful. I am now living in Ireland pursuing a Master in Performative Arts at University College Cork, Cork City. The roaster is closed. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and helped make this business a success. — Mercedes
