You want to know what I'm passionate about? You really want to know.

What I'm passionate about is coffee. Wait, it's deeper than that.

I'm not just passionate about it, it is my life.

You see with coffee, it comes in stages like life. From light to dark. Each stage is different.

Listening to the cracks form the beans during the roasting process is jazz to my ears.

But still it's much deeper than that. You see I have a reason for being in the coffee industry. Yes I want money and fame, but there's more.

The reason I started my online coffee shop Coco Bear Cafe is because of the youth.

Just like coffee being roasted and then brewed, the same happens with the youth.

They are navigating through life, learning and making mistakes. What if we had a center for them to go and learn how to become leaders and learn that it is ok to not be ok?

That is our coffee shop's ultimate goal. To use the revenue we gain to open up a cooperative safe space for youth and young adults to come be themselves and learn how to be leaders in their communities.

Thus, as you navigate through my stories and see me talking about coffee, know that this is why.

It also helps that our coffee is delicious. Specialty made coffee based off of a popular trend and freshly roasted coffee beans roasted to order.

If you enjoy coffee, youth, leadership, and building something worth everything then our coffee shop is just for you. Partner with us by buying coffee from our site and continue to lead those around you.

It’s the beginning of something great, a story still to be told. These beans do that.

Taste of a light roast reminding you of the earth we come from, the ground we stand on.

The smooth chicory flavor of a dark, showing us how nutty and smooth we can be.

It is a drink of elegance and simplicity. Coffee contrasts tea and I love tea.

But it’s something about the culture of coffee that is welcoming to all who dare to drink it.

Once you step into the coffee world you will see that there is more to it than just beans.

You can use the barrel age process and create beans with liquor flavor but without the alcohol.

You can use it for your garden as mulch and as repellent for insects.

One of the gifts I recently got was a handmade coffee massage cream.

So as you take this trip with me through my words, know that coffee is for the soul.

It connects, it is a bridge to the unknown, a bridge to the unseen.

Imagine for a moment a dream that you do not want to wake up from.

You are on a boat to an island far away.

As you sail, nature kisses your cheek and holds you close.

A feel only a mom can give.

Yet, here you are on this boat in your dream going to this island.

Relaxing isn’t it? To be able to drift away the cares that so often pull us down. Like quicksand.

So often we do not dream, yet here you are dreaming. Better yet fantasizing.

A better future, a better day, a better view, a better you.

Never in your life did you want to sleep so much then you are right now.

Neverland has nothing on your dreams. Wherever you land will be a dream come true. A reality so many dream but never truly grasp.

This dream can be brought to you by coffee.

A whole new world brought to you by coffee.

See my passion is not just passion. It’s much more.

I gave you my Why, I gave you a Story.

A sales pitch for coffee that none can compare to.

Dreams only you can access. Nobody can stop you. The mug in your hand is a compass to the island, the distant dreamland.

Now go, get ready. Get your books, your gadgets and dream.

Drown yourself in a pot of coffee and taste the notes that come with each brew.

Ice, hot, whipped all up kind of coffee. Whatever your fancy, we got you covered.

The coffee you desire you can be the coffee master.

You are in control of your ship, the boat, the waters.

Each sip is more relaxing than the next.

Each sip is a dance, air flowing by.

As you drink this coffee respect the legacy.

Invite others to your table and do not be stingy, this coffee is not just for you.

It’s for them as well.

Coffee creates a table for all to sit. Come to the table and take a sip.
