that the Tate Roastery produces some 22,000 kilograms of coffee every year, it's not the beans that have gotten everyone's attention this week: it's the paycheck.
According to Tate, the job requires extensive experience of cupping and espresso quality assessment, as well as experience in developing blends for espresso and filter coffee. "The successful candidate will provide strong leadership and lead a team that makes a unique, ethical, quality-driven product while delivering a profitable business model," it writes.
