It's not often that your average local coffee roaster has the means to be in many different places to showcase the end result of the coffees they source and roast.
More often than not, roasteries remain obscure at best, downright invisible to the larger public at least or folded into that mysterious blank space known as commercial coffee.
Which is why we jumped at the chance to bring to Charlotte a vehicle that would bridge the gap between our happy little roastery and the folks we ultimately want to experience our coffees. You, the public.
We have a philosophy at Boquete Mountain Coffee derived form an ancient Turkish adage that says: When Coffee is Good, Business is Good. That's why we are open to the public at the roastery and, of course, the truck.
Bringing a coffee truck to life is a lot like building and opening a standard coffee shop with a few extra contingencies to plan for. Needless to say things like weather, temperature, gas loadout, tie down straps, mobile cloud services and POS systems all come into play.
But you have to have the proper mindset to bring top-shelf coffee to the public in the proper way, which is why instead of cutting corners with powders, every espresso is hand-crafted by a pro barista, the whipped creams are customized, the chai is true chai, not a concentrate, and the brewed coffees are within 2-3 days of being roasted.
The truck is parked at S. Tryon St. and Stonewall daily from 6:30 am until 2:00 pm and will be at most of the Charlotte public events and other special events.
So, if you see us stop by and have a drink!
