The Root has published a 2 part interview (part 1, part 2) with Bob Garver, owner of Bard Coffee.
“We believe that as time goes on and our relationships continue to deepen and strengthen, the impact on quality will only amplify,” Garver wrote in an email to me. “This is part of our general approach to our coffees as one in which we are using “best practices” at every step in the coffees journey, which include not only practices on the farms and in processing the coffees at origin and our involvement there (sourcing), but in our roasting, our preparation/brewing and finally how we present them to our customers.”
