Meet a cupping specialist at Olympia Coffee Roasting, Patrick Oiye. It is all about trying multiple coffees, much like wine tasting, to find out what you really like. He traveled to Hawaii to study the art of Taiko. What was supposed to be an 11 month course turned into six years. What did he learn, and what exactly is Taiko? Was it fate, cosmic collision or was it programmed into his genetics? How did the West Coast World War II internment camps fuel his quest for family history, and connection. What did he learn, and why were his relatives reluctant to talk about their past. How do you compete with large businesses for eyeballs if you are a small company?
