Bean North

I had promised my friend Helen that we would have coffee one morning this week at Bean North, the coffee roasters on the Takhini Hotsprings Road...always a lovely place to sit and sip their wonderful, freshly roasted, fair trade coffee.  Before I knew it, it was Friday - where did the week go?   As luck would have it the morning was sunny with a predicted high of 18, so after a quick phone call we were off up the highway to have our coffee.   

It was even warm enough to sip our brew outside.  That is Helen in the blue sweater.  We then toured their gardens.  Although many of the blooms were past their prime, it was good timing to collect some of the seeds from the plants we liked the most.

Inside you can look through a large window to see their coffee roasting operation.  And to top it off, the people that served us (the owners???) we especially pleasant and cheerful.  Just the kind of place of enjoy a perfect cup of java.
