This is the second year Snowy Elk Coffee has won medals from the Golden Bean competition. "The Golden Bean is a valuable experience for us," says Julie Gondzar, co-owner of Snowy Elk Coffee. "It feels great to share our coffee at such a prestigious event, and we are honored that our high altitude roasts consistently stand out within the specialty coffee industry."
Owners Scott and Julie Gondzar are members of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) and work hard to maintain high standards, always choosing specialty coffee beans from sustainable farms and achieving excellence in the craft roasting process. "The science of roasting coffee can be a life-long education," says Scott Gondzar. "Being a part of the Golden Bean is an opportunity for us to learn, grow, and refine our roasts."
