Today is the end of an era. Melissa Leinart (Missy) is retiring today after 17 years. Most of that time, she has been our principal Roaster and ushered us through to “Best Coffee” awards every year! Her work has earned us Bronze Medals in the Golden Bean national competition 4 times and in 2016, we were even named the “State of TN Best Coffee Roaster” by the national publication, Mental Floss. It’s safe to say that Vienna would not be here without her help! Please join me in thanking her and wishing her good luck and God’s speed as she enters her next chapter!
