Summary
Commodity trading software provider Eximware has donated $10,000 to the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI) Origin Fund. CQI is a nonprofit organization that provides education, training and technical assistance to people in the coffee industry while also maintaining the Q Grader certification program. The line is named after the ZigZag tributary of the Sandy River in Oregon, and the cold brew has flavors of milk chocolate, orange zest and cherry. Winners include the Latte Art Factory Bar Pro, Breville’s Barista Touch Impress, Torani’s toasted black sesame syrup and Rarebird’s Px coffee. Created with Three of Strong distillery, the Dame Alice Greele medium-light roast coffee is named for a famous Maine tavern owner known for fighting back during Henry Mowatt’s 1775 bombardment of Falmouth.
