Coffee...and oqcoffee gradually on the rise

A little bit of espresso, raw milk and 70% dark chocolate makes for a sustainable afternoon.

clockwise from top left: (TL) 6oz. latte - a little short of the rim, but lovely and delicious (TR) 2oz. macchiato w/ a rosetta! (BR) 6oz. latte with a leafy rosetta (BL) 70% dark chocolate from Ecuador by Askinosie

Coffee and latte art are skills of oqcoffee.com--a new, unique business in the central Jersey area. They are a developing coffee roastery specializing in specialty coffee with broader goals in social and environmental justice. These will be perpetually pursued through purchasing none other than fairly trade green beans, organic when possible, spreading awareness about coffee farmers and supporting their local community through direct fund and/or service projects. Future goals include a cafe. Other names they are known by are "new brunswick coffee, LLC" and "old queens coffee company."
Currently they are still small-batch roasting from home and working out the minor kinks and details, i.e. bagging options, building cupping tables, refining their logo/branding style, delivery options, website design etc. but the prospect of a fully functional coffee roasting business is on the horizon (hopefully within 1-3 months).
