Umeko Motoyoshi interviews Vancouver, BC-based Slothee Coffee<\/a> founder Jessica Lui on the latest episode of A Better Table. Lui specializes in a form of latte art known as etching (when tools are used after milk is poured to draw and\/or sculpt) and creates incredible works of colorful art. With Slothee Coffee, Lui teaches latte art classes, organizes coffee service pop-ups, and works as a photographer and content-creator.<\/p>\n

In this episode, Lui talks about working as a barista over a decade ago, leaving coffee to work in a corporate environment, and starting Slothee Coffee in 2019 as a way to reconnect with the specialty coffee community. A part of that connection is collaboration, like Slothee Coffee’s\u00a0recent collaboration with Atlanta’s Tanbrown Coffee for Asian Heritage Month<\/a>, creating a sticker-pack bundled with a anaerobic washed process coffee from Thailand ($30 CAD).<\/p>\n

“The coffee community, it’s shown me a side of humanity that was lost in all those years in a corporate office,” Lui tells Motoyoshi. This episode is especially inspiring, hopeful, and encouraging to anyone who may feel stuck or lost in their current situation.<\/p>\n
