Do we like your coffee black? Define black. At a right shop, coffee can comes in a far-reaching accumulation of flavors, blends and even colors.
The coffee served during Plumb Line Coffee on University Avenue is “what coffee can truly be,” that means we not usually ambience a coffee, yet we are supposing a ambience of a enlightenment and nation where a coffee beans were grown. And these coffee beans are lifted to your accurate specifications.
Jennifer and Bill Parker moved to Clarksville in Oct 2016 with a idea of opening a coffee shop. Not usually any coffee shop, though. They wanted their coffee emporium to be different.
Plumb Line Coffee, that non-stop in January, is a “third wave” shop, where we can drink coffees from around a world, or we can buy a bag. The coffee is so pure, and so flavorful, we competence find we don’t need sugarine or cream.
Third call is to coffee what microbreweries are to beer. It’s not inexpensive, and you will spend some-more than a integrate of dollars for a cup. But once we try it, you’ll know why.
Third Wave shops are comparatively new and mostly found in vast cities like New York, Chicago and Seattle. You won’t find coffee blends. The infancy of a growers are in Central America, South America and Africa. It is an costly coffee to grow, and a buyers are specialty shops and high-end restaurants.
“People will sequence a coffee and afterwards ask sugarine and cream,” pronounced Jen Parker. “I tell them about a routine of growing, harvesting and roasting a beans and ask them to usually try it initial though a add-ons. The business adore it. They can collect adult a healthy flavors in a coffee and not be dreaming by sourness or sweetened sweetness.”
Get to know your beans
If we enjoy a bit of story and prefer to buy coffee by a bag, a jacket will tell we a nation where a coffee was grown, including a name of a plantation and a grower. It will tell we when a coffee was harvested as good as a date it was roasted and the suppliers who sell it.
“These coffee beans are not grown on a sides of plateau in 1,000-acre terraced hills,” Bill Parker said. “Included in a third call definition is a importance on where a coffees are grown. Most of a growers are located in Third World countries. Great honour is taken in a products that are produced.
“These are organic beans, lifted though herbicides and chemicals, grown by particular farmers and not blurb entities, and harvested by hand. Special grinders are used in estimate a beans,” he said.
“All along a way, we can be as concerned in a routine as we select to be. we am acquire to transport and see firsthand what and how a beans are grown, processed and ground. And yes, specialty coffees like these are some-more costly than what we squeeze during a grocery store or by a crater during customary coffee shops.”
Do-it-yourself business
Plumb Line has a laid-back ambiance. The site was selected behind in a fall, and all remodeling was finished by a Parkers. Even a wood used for floors, walls and ceilings are lighter in color. Bill Parker fashioned all of a woodwork by hand.
Two things that were outrageous draws to a Parkers were a farrago of a people in Clarksville and being nearby Austin Peay, that is usually dual blocks away.
Among a favorite coffees are mocha, lavender, whiskey-caramel, vanilla scotch and dim and white chocolate. Lattes are popular, and shortly there will be a lager latte.
Jen and Bill Parker spent large hours during a shop, yet they have help. Their dual teenage children, Josiah and Jessica, are flourishing adult with a business and work there part-time with one other employee.
And a name, Plumb Line Coffee? Bill is a former land surveyor, and he used a rectilinear line as customary equipment. It means “perfection.”
