Curiosity has led you here to learning more about what Brotherhood of the Bean is all about.  My name is Stephen Lange and I am the owner and primary writer of Brotherhood of the Bean, I’d like to start by thanking you for visiting Brotherhood of the Bean.  Coffee is a communal experience and I look forward to experiencing it with you through this blog.

What started as a casual blog idea turned into a burning passion for me as I began to explore the Coffee world and all it has to offer.  This passion lay lurking unknown even to myself until I stopped looking at coffee merely as a caffeine transport, and began seeing it as the complex drink that it is.

Like fine wine, coffee offers a complex aroma and taste experience for those who are open to experiencing it.  This came as quite a pleasant surprise to me as I began to fully understand what coffee has to offer.

I by no means consider myself an expert in the field of coffee, but I have a passion and honesty that seems to translate well to others who love coffee as much as I do.  With that in mind my goal is to present my readers with honest reviews, opinions and commentary on coffee culture, beans and products.

I hope you enjoy this site, and encourage you to contact me with you thoughts and suggestions.  I am very proud to say that I am a member of the 9rules blog network.  If you love great blogs, please follow this link and start exploring some of the best content on the web.
