Here it comes from Novosibirsk: Traveler's Coffee
and the story: how a guy from San Francisco started it all in Siberia

Success for Tara-Browne was harder won. He first travelled to Novosibirsk in 1994 as a member of the Baha’i faith.

Never heard there were Baha'i faith followers in Novosibirsk.

CoffeeCup, I think you might have found your next job... a roastmaster!

"You need to be able to discern shades of flavour, colour and aroma. A few minutes or degrees too many can turn a subtle drink into murky swill. In this respect it is a lot like wine; it’s all about the nuances. And as with wine, the terroir greatly influences the flavour of coffee. The soil, the height above sea level, the number of sunny days, each of these elements is reflected in the taste of coffee as well.”

And this is exactly the same as how the girls and I feel about the coffee houses here...

“drinking coffee in Russia is still much more than just a caffeine fix. It is about lingering in cafes, spending time with friends and eating copious amounts."

That's funny. Actually, some other day I had a thought that if I earned enough money that I would not need to go to work I would open a coffee shop which would be specialized on drawing pictures on latte. This tradition seems to decay in Russian coffee shops these days.
