Before I start taste testing

Me hugging a coffee bean tree

My love for coffee started when I got a job at the Café Cappuccino in Moncton, New-Brunswick when I was studying at the Université de Moncton. Sure, I did not know the difference between a latte, cappuccino or an Americano and sure, we did use coffee beans rather than espresso beans (yikes!), but it was this experience that would be the start of many more café jobs and many more mornings/afternoons & evenings spent lounging in cafés.

I am going to spend the next 4 months in Montreal going from café to café tasting every “best seller” or “signature drink” and I will share with you my experience. It’s a tough job but someone’s got to do it. Before I go out in to the Montreal city streets in search for cafés, I will tell you about my experience when visiting a coffee plantation in Costa Rica about 2 years ago. Soon to come…
