Hello Friends,

Over the weekend our family made our 4th annual Angwin blackberry pie. Every year around this same weekend we notice that the blackberries are ripe and begging to be picked. We debate where they are going to be sweetest and then take an afternoon to hunt out the prime blackberry spot. This year I was literally pulling off hand-fulls of the ripest, sweetest blackberries I have ever found. Some where hidden in fennel and others close by in beautifully fragrant lavender bushes. These are the memories that will always last for me in Angwin.

This week I will be presenting a special that tries to capture this magical Angwin summer afternoon. A shot of espresso poured into a cappuccino cup. Then a blackberry, lavender and fennel cream will be steamed into a separate glass. The components will be tasted separately and then combined to give the full experience. I am calling this drink A Love Letter to Angwin. The espresso is Coava’s Ibonia Kenya. It has lovely notes of blackberry, molasses and currant. A perfect coffee to pair with the bounty of an Angwin summer.
