Ivy League Barista Academy

06/26/2015

This week at the ILBA has been another fantastic & inspiring one! Great students, delicious coffee, and countless moments where we watched these once novice baristas become drastically closer to masters of their craft.
We missed a few students in our traditional group shot and will be sending a few more on their way!
Regardless, from the whole ILBA team, we want to again thank our class of June 2015, you were all a pleasure to teach and we wish you much success!

Our master Coffee & Barista Trainer cupping our new Kenya Ichamama Peaberry. All she could say after breaking the crust and taking her first taste was how "buttery!" this Kenya is.
