The Artery Community Roasters - Anthony Bourbain

Anthony Bourdain was a legendary writer and TV host, with one of the most unique voices. He was someone who you just wanted to watch, to read, to listen to, even if he was doing something as seemingly mundane as eating soup on screen. He was one of the greats and we miss him. 

This coffee is in honour of him and how much he inspired our love of the food industry, even while he showcased in detail it's dark underbelly. It's an industry of long hours and lots of pressure that pushes people to their limits, and leads to the highest rates of substance abuse of any industry (20% of those in the industry have substance abuse issues). It also is a career that isn't kind to individuals' mental health. 

If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide, call or text 9-8-8. Support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We should add, this is a beautiful washed Pink Bourbon from Angel Ortega, and fitting for such a great chef, even when he thought this about coffee:

“There are few things I care about less than coffee. I have two big cups every morning: light and sweet, preferably in a cardboard cup. Any bodega will do...It’s a beverage; it’s not a lifestyle.”
