Tom Sawyer Country Coffee

This is a photo I took of Tom Sawyer, a local coffee roaster with a shop in Hangman Valley called Tom Sawyer Country Coffee. Tom has been involved in the coffee and roasting business for over fifty years, and has a complete roasting facility in the rooms behind his coffee bar.

Tom was kind enough to give Chris and I a tour of his roasting facilities, and walk us through the history and process that results in a variety of high quality coffees.

He also poured me about 6 shots, from various fresh roasts, and I also tried his cold Toddy coffee which was excellent, and was recently written up in a Spokesman Review article. We left with some supplies and a couple pounds of his Baker's blend, which we've been very pleased with. I'm looking forward to meeting up with Tom again soon, and trying out some of his other coffees.

The photo was taken with a Bessa R, with Leica 50/2.8 Elmar, and Portra 160 VC film.
