At the heart of Ipswich, Massachusetts, a rising star in the world of specialty coffee, Josh Little Wolf, has been making waves. Stepping into the world of caffeinated excellence at Little Wolf Coffee Roasters, I was privileged to meet this extraordinary barista whose was the early customer at Newbery Street Coffee Roaster in curiosity for Thai Specialty Coffee bean.
Josh Nowland, not just a barista but he's also the youngest judge ever Cup of Excellence and compete in the Coffee Master competitions. His youthful energy is matched only by his deep-rooted passion for elevating the coffee experience within our communities.
What sets Josh apart is not just his skill but his global odyssey in pursuit of coffee knowledge. He traversed lands, from the vibrant coffee plantations of Honduras to the yet undiscovered trend of Taiwanese coffee culture. Sharing his experience judging the Taiwan Cup of Excellence in 2023 before before reaching 21, Josh marveled at the paradox of high-quality coffee production in Taiwan coupled with its relatively low yield. He even quipped about finding specialty coffee served at 7-Eleven stores in Taiwan, a testament to the nation's coffee fervor.
Coffee didn't just become a part of Josh's life; it transformed it. At 15, he stumbled upon coffee's potential in aiding his diet, but the journey led him down a rabbit hole of fascination, love, and unending quest for mastery in the world of coffee.
Josh is on a mission to share his ardor for exceptional brews with patrons and enthusiasts alike. His favorite of choice of brewers?
