If you’ve ever stopped by our Government Way store and found yourself chatting with a man who’s as passionate about coffee as he is about life, chances are, you’ve met Eddie—our incredible master roaster.
Eddie’s journey with us is nothing short of remarkable.
From his first visit as a customer to now being an integral part of the Terre team, he continues to amaze us.
A Passion for Coffee and Mission
Eddie’s love for coffee is rooted in years of travel and experience. He’s extensively explored South America, not just in search of great coffee, but also to serve in various mission outreaches. His travels have shaped his passion for organic coffee, where he sees firsthand the immense difference in quality. Eddie’s commitment to organic beans goes beyond taste—it’s a belief that supports better farming practices and a healthier planet.
A Father (or Grandfather) Figure
More than just a roaster, Eddie is like a father or grandfather to all of us. He has a way of making everyone feel like family—whether it’s sharing stories, offering wisdom, or just being a joy to be around. There’s always a twinkle in his eye that reflects the deep joy he finds in his faith.
A Salvation Story to Remember
One of the most beautiful things about Eddie is his salvation story. It’s a story for the books—one where God spoke to him while he was working as a bouncer in a casino, guiding him toward a life of freedom and joy. From that moment on, Eddie’s life has been a testimony to God’s goodness and the transformative power of Jesus.
A Wealth of Knowledge
Eddie is not just a roaster—he’s a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Whether you’re curious about the roasting process, coffee beans, or life itself, Eddie is always happy to share his insights. His passion for coffee is matched only by his love for people, and we are constantly in awe of the opportunity to work with such a professional, kind, and humble person.
So, next time you’re at our Government Way store, make sure to meet Eddie if he’s behind the roaster. You’ll not only walk away with the best coffee but also a little more wisdom and joy in your heart.
We are so grateful for Eddie, and for all that he brings to our team. Truly, God’s goodness is evident in every cup he roasts.
