Good day partners,

I wanted this group to be the 1st to know that Canada has it's 1st non-retail Coffee Master, certified to the enhanced program - Kirsti Stubbs!!

This morning, Kirsti welcomed myself, Sara Presutto (pr director) and Tara Brydges (her interim recruitment manager) to her certification meeting with a GREAT cupping - comparing Breakfast Blend to Espresso Roast.
She then aced all of the knowledge questions!!
Finally, she shared with us her observations and recommended goals for herself personally, along with our broader PR Canada team, to impact coffee quality, share expertise and sell coffee.

Congratulations, Kirsti!! You have been and I know will continue to be, per this role, "an inspirational presence to engage our team around coffee".

Thanks, and congratulations again...
Kat
