Hi nguyen-coffee-supply,
I always get a little extra during Virgo season – I mean, Beyoncé is my birthday twin after all 😜. This year, I celebrated my birthday by driving home to spend time with my parents. The introvert in me kept it lowkey this year, no grand party. Yet the extra Virgo in me turned up with my parents, culminating in drinking whiskey and smoking cigars with my dad on his roof, followed by a late night hot pot session. To top it all off, my parents bought me a new rice cooker for my birthday, which has increased my joy of eating rice by 500%. These are the moments I live for now.
Last week, we hosted a demo at Whole Foods, which means handing out samples of our coffee to customers. I still cherish the opportunities to be at ground level, talking to customers and spreading our mission. Then, I received the best surprise when I walked down the coffee aisle and found that they recently put up my “Local” brand panel, which showcases my portrait and a bag of our 100% robusta, Truegrit. The photo was taken months ago, and the journey into Whole Foods’ shelves took years; in a time where speed feels like the norm, it was nice to sit in that moment and reflect on how long and great the journey has been.
Thank you so much for being part of our journey and supporting Nguyen Coffee Supply. If you’re in NYC, please purchase a bag of our coffee in Whole Foods – we’re on sale this month! Otherwise, head to our website for a special promo going on right now. Happy Virgo season!
Cheers,
Sahra Nguyen
