a coffee lover’s dream. BY L.M. ARCHER
“COFFEE IS BOTH A SCIENCE AND AN ART. The more you understand
the science, the more freedom you have to create the art.”
That keen observation by the social media manager for Chromatic
Coffee in Santa Clara, Rachel van Geenhoven, neatly sums up the
current South Bay fascination with coffee; no longer a morning
wake-up brew, it has become an artisanal beverage worthy of serious
exploration. Craft coffee, that is—coffee grown and roasted with
expert attention and loving care, java that deserves to be appreciated
for its excellence and subtle nuances as much as boutique wines
and locally crafted beers.
