people you need to know about

it's a people day here at bccy. some will be known to long-time readers; another will be new.

well-known bccy yoga faves j. brown, "the punk yogi" and alma "mad dog" largey are both teaching now at the new hell's kitchen studio, levitate. i know a lot of readers want to take classes with them; now you have more options!

i haven't yet been to the studio myself; i plan on trying it out this weekend.

from oz coffee guy and renowned alt.coffee pro alan frew, there's news of the barista championship in china. just think about that for a moment: china.

let me once again pretentiously quote myself: one world under specialty coffee's passionate sway.

tea: what's that? even the chinese are huge into espresso now!

but the person to know about here is passionate coffee lover and championship judge terry to, whose site features pix of the competition. the winner will go to the worlds.

everyone knows the only thing i love more than coffee are people who love coffee. so let me introduce you to terry, a coffee lover we all need to know more about.

for example, in his tiny, tiny hong kong apartment he somehow has found room for a small commercial coffee roaster and a commercial espresso machine! that's a bccy kinda guy.

he's apparently well-known in china and down under. i think it's about time he makes his north american debut. . .
