CHESTERLAND NEWS Landscaper Resurrects Japanese Garden By Ann Wishart ann@geaugamapleleaf.com
Half an acre near the Rockefeller Park Greenhouse around Martin Luther King Drive was badly overgrown last spring when Mike Hetman and MaryAnn Thesing collaborated in renovating the area. Four months later, the Japanese Garden, a haven for reflection, complete with Japanese maple trees, the traditional bridge, tea garden, a wisteria-covered trellis and a bamboo shed, draw crowds along its white lucky-stone paths. Hetman, owner of Estates Landscaping at 8015 Mayfield Road in Chester Township, said he and Thesing, a landscape designer with GardenPHD in Cleveland, met at the city-owned park several times to strategize. “I call MaryAnn the Japanese maple queen,” he joked, adding Thesing knows everything about the many varieties of Japanese maples.

Russell Trustees Hesitate to Start Facebook Page By Ann Wishart ann@geaugamapleleaf.com Circulating information to residents is a challenge Russell Township officials face regularly. Road closings, tire collection days, changes in township policies and reasons for the decisions made are just a few examples of information trustees would like to disseminate throughout the township. Social media might hold the solution to this problem, but it could also lead to additional problems, trustees said Aug. 7.
During their bi-monthly meeting, Trustees Assistant Melissa Palmer asked trustees to approve a social media policy that would allow her to send information via Facebook to township residents. “We’d use Facebook purely as a bulletin board. We don’t need comments back,” she said. “They can email us with any questions. There will be buttons (on the Facebook page) to contact us directly.” The system would not allow posting of comments or political opinions by individuals accessing the township Facebook page, Palmer added.
“Any good quality communication is a lot of work and responsibility, but it’s worth doing.” – Melissa Palmer She already maintains the township website and creates and sends out a township newsletter, but the problem is getting residents to access the website or read the newsletter, she explained. She also said current news could go out on Twitter. “Facebook is aging out. The newest thing is Twitter,” said Palmer. Posting township announce-
ments on Facebook puts the information right in front of residents as soon as it comes out, she said. Residents don’t always think of going to the website when they have questions or for daily updates on various township-related matters. Trustees, however, had various concerns about social media use. “We all want to do communication as much as possible,” said See Russell • Page 3

Trustee Justin Madden, adding there are a lot of issues connected to social media. “I have a lot of reservations about this. I’m very, very uncertain about the project.” Madden said he would like to explore the township’s rights and liabilities regarding posting on Facebook or other social media before approving it. Trustee Jim Mueller said he had other concerns. “I would be much more comfortable if the only person who has access through a coded system would be you, Melissa,” he said. “I’m not sure that’s necessary, although I appreciate your confidence in me,” Palmer replied, adding she knows another person in Russell who would be capable.

Fiscal Officer Karen Walder wanted to make sure employees are cognizant of the regulations around social media use. “Before we roll it out, let’s make sure every employee understands,” she said. After the meeting Palmer said trustees need to be more confident about social media before they approve its use, but she is willing to put the effort into making sure residents have timely township information. “Any good quality communication is a lot of work and responsibility, but it’s worth doing,” she said. “And it’s free.”

Chesterland Baptist Church Observes 200th Anniversary Submitted The Connecticut Land Company bought most of the Western Reserve in 1795 for 35 cents an acre, and Chester Township was first surveyed in 1796. The land was cleared and planted by the settlers, who were nearly all farmers who built cabins and produced all items needed for living. The first settlers in Chester Township arrived in 1801. The first sermon in New Connecticut was by the Rev. Willm Wick on Sept. 1, 1799, and was delivered in “Youngs Town”. Before 1809, the only two sermons preached in Chester had been by Rev. Thomas Robbins, the third missionary to the Western Reserve, the first sermon being on Jan. 22, 1805. Early in 1810, Rev. Thomas Barr made a passing call. The first discourse delivered in Chester by a Baptist was delivered by Rev. Silas Root, who passed through the town in 1812. A Revolutionary War veteran, James Gillmore Sr. and his wife, Nancy, migrated to Chester in June 1812 from Chester, Mass., with their five unmarried children, built a log cabin near the town hall and subsequently, the first frame house in the township. Other early Chester settlers included the Norton family. Lebbeus Norton walked from Pittsfield, Mass., to Aurora in 1812 and moved to Chester in February 1816. He served as Chester’s Justice of the Peace for 15 years and town clerk for 10 years. The Baptists, Presbyterians and Methodists met together with a circuit rider preacher in autumn of 1818 that resulted in a con-
version of quite a number of persons, which laid the basis in August 1819 for organizing the Baptist Church. The Baptist Church of Christ in Chester was organized on Aug. 4,1819, with seven members (three male and four female), five others uniting with the church by baptism that day. The founders included James Gillmore Sr. and his wife, Nancy, Lebbeus Norton and his wife, Nancy Gillmore Norton, and Lebbeus’ brother, Eber Norton, and his wife, Eliphel Wells Norton, and the Gillmore and Norton children. Soon after organizing in 1819, our church acquired the part-time services of Rev. Warner Goodale. Elder Thomas Bridges Stephenson arrived in 1828 from New York and served as pastor a total of 25 years. In July 1831, a Sunday School was established and it has been maintained ever since. A common Baptist practice was to hold the covenant meeting for an hour or two of prayer and renewal of their covenant to God and one another prior to the monthly observance of the Lord’s Supper. Prior to 1834, members met in homes. Starting in 1834, covenant meetings were held in the schoolhouse near Chillicothe Road and Sherman Road. In 1843, a small frame meeting house was built on the southwest corner of Sherman and Chillicothe roads. In 1860, Rev. James R. Thompson was called as pastor and served for the next 17 years. On Oct. 2, 1869, the 30 members met to consider whether to stay and repair the meeting house, or to build a new church. After discussion, the motion was made to raise funds to build a new church that year. Our
Pig Roast & Square Dance Sept. 21 4:30-8:30 p.m. present building was dedicated on Dec. 14, 1870, free of debt, at a total cost of $4,350. A 700 bell was soon added at a cost of $350. This same bell still rings each Sunday to call people to worship. On April 1, 1871, the church voted to change its name to The First Regular Baptist Church of Chester Cross Roads. In December 1871, the women organized their local Missionary Society. On a very cold day Feb. 21, 1875, “after service, the congregation repaired to the river. Two members were baptized.” The ice was reported to be 2-feet thick. In 1911, the church changed its name to Chesterland Baptist Church. In 1915, an addition built on the rear of the church provided two Sunday School rooms and room for social events, which reflect a growing church. A partial basement was made under the church in 1937 by the digging efforts of the senior high class. By July 1945, the building had been raised and a full basement put under the sanctuary to provide a furnace, more Sunday School rooms, a fellowship hall, kitchen and restrooms. Boy Scout Troop 195, sponsored by Chesterland Baptist Church, was organized in
March 1954. The scout troop has been continuously supported to the present time. In 1958, the facilities for education programs and social functions had become inadequate, so fundraising began in April for an expansion project. The brick educational and all-purpose wing was dedicated Nov. 30, 1958. The addition had folding room-dividers to house eight Sunday School classrooms and was erected at a cost of $60,000. In 1978, the church’s spire was covered with copper. In 1980, our sanctuary was remodeled (under the direction of noted Cleveland architect Monroe Copper), including addition of a choir loft, new pews, an enlarged front entrance foyer, new lighting, expanded chancel area and a baptistery. The sanctuary was dedicated on Dec.14, 1980, exactly 110 years after the original building was dedicated. An elevator was installed in 1992 to make the sanctuary handicap accessible. A ground-breaking ceremony was held in 1994 (our 175th anniversary year) for a new addition to provide needed space and improve our facility; and a covered access entryway from the parking lot was added. The two-story addition on the back of our church housed meeting/Sunday School rooms, restroom facilities and a pastor’s office. The Fellowship Hall was remodeled in 2018. Since 2000, several mission trips have been undertaken. Local community outreach activities have included food distribution, aid to local families and currently, we host a free spaghetti dinner on the third Thursday of each month. The women’s missionary society is very active. Each year, a free Vacation Bible See Anniversary • Page 9

Garden
While reconstructing the paths they were pleased to discover thick slabs of sandstone. After consulting with Thesing, Hetman’s team used the slabs to build a wall that hadn’t been part of the plan. “It was just an add-on. It came out real nice,” he said. They dug out about a quarter-mile of paths around the garden and used some of the sandstone as pavers. Once the overgrowth was removed they pressure-washed the bridge and the bamboo shed, and cleaned up the statue with a Japanese theme. The first challenge the Estate Landscaping workers faced was getting the visitors out of the Japanese Garden so it could become a construction zone, Hetman said. They strung the orange fencing around the entrances after herding everyone out. A few weeks later he was gratified by the community interest. “When I took down the orange fence — I was still rolling it up — and there were 20 or 30 people waiting there to see what we had done,” Hetman said. “It was a really fun project. I’ve been in the business 21 years and I like this kind of creativity.” Next year he hopes to be revamping the Rose Garden at Rockefeller Greenhouse and to be involved in renovating a texture garden for the visually impaired.
from page 1
That was handy because some of the trees in the garden were 70 to 80 years old and in desperate need of her expertise. “The garden hadn’t been taken care of for many, many years,” Hetman said. Besides the many trees that needed attention, the ground floor had been ignored. “The beds were so infested it looked like old bushes and shrubs, and grass,” he said, estimating the garden had been ignored for more than a decade. “It was pretty bad.” Rockefeller Greenhouse gradually has been rehabilitating the gardens that highlight plants from many countries around the world. Clearly it was time for the Japanese garden to be tended. Once Thesing and Hetman agreed on a plan — and the rain stopped falling — he and his crew put in several days of “ripping and tearing” through the overgrowth in July’s heat to get to the bones of the garden. “We started the middle of July and were done by Aug. 1,” he said. “It was a lot of work and a lot of long days.” They enhanced the gardens with boulders and added concrete ramps to improve accessibility for handicapped visitors, Hetman said.

LESS PAIN - IMPROVED MOBILITY - POSTURAL EXERCISES - VITAMINS - NUTRITION
CHESTER TWP. – Warren Earl Jackson Jr., 92, of Chester Township, died Aug. 8, 2019, at Lenox Ridge Nursing Home after a long courageous battle with Parkinson’s Disease. Born Aug. 4, 1927, in Cleveland, to Warren Sr. and Anna Jackson, he was a veteran of the U.S. Army, having served in Okinawa and the Philippines during World War II. Following his service, he was the manager of Pennsylvania Rubber and Supply Co. and retired as an auto parts supply salesman for Miles-Lee Auto Supply. While retired, he was a courier for Independence Bank. He married Dorothy J. Arndt, on Christmas Eve 1945 in Kentucky, while on holiday leave from the Army. Formerly of Maple Heights, they had resided in Chester since 1980. In their early years, the Jacksons were avid motorcyclists, riding with the Cleveland Motorcycle Club and Indians Motorcycle Club. They loved playing pinochle, dancing, swimming and roller skating, where they excelled at the flee hop. They also enjoyed nearly 50 years of boating, first as members at the Mentor Lagoons Marina and then at Grand River Yacht Club. Mr. Jackson spent several years actively involved in the Cleveland Power Squadron, teaching classes and attending conferences. During retirement, he enjoyed time with his wife tending to their large garden and splitting wood for their wood burner. He loved cooking and considered himself a Food Network pro. Every day they walked their beloved dog, Sparky, and he proudly told everyone, “This is Sparky, he just happens to be a dog.” He will be remembered for his adventurous spirit and vivacious personality. A true raconteur, he turned every experience into hilariously entertaining stories. Mr. Jackson is survived by his loving wife of 73 years, Dorothy; his children, Linda (Frank) Hanzak, of Solon, Rex (Elizabeth) Jackson, of St. Simon’s Island, Ga., and Greg (Jill) Jackson, of Berea; seven grandchildren, Kristi (Jeff) Pakeltis, of Mentor, Kellie (Jeff) Hotz, of Dublin, Ohio, Mike Hanzak, of Sagamore Hills, Taylor, Victoria and Juliette Jackson, of Georgia, Chris (Katie) Jackson, of Streetsboro, Melanie Snyder, of North Royalton, and Chris (Roschelle) Shanto, of Washington state; and six great-grandchildren, Tommy and Leo Pakeltis, Brady and Bennett
Hotz, Norah Snyder and Piper Jackson. Memorial service will be held at Blessing-Hine Funeral Home, 8592 Darrow Road, Twinsburg, on Friday, Sept. 6, 2019, at 11:30 a.m. The family will greet guests beginning at 10 a.m. Memorial donations may be made to the Parkinson’s Association for research or a charity of your choice.

A new assistant to the fiscal officer was just hired by trustees Ken Radtke and Joe Mazzurco, and fiscal officer Craig Richter. The new assistant is the wife of fellow trustee Frank Kolk. So, here’s how it works. The wife cuts all the vendor checks and prepares all paychecks for the township. Checks need to be approved
by a minimum of two trustees — could be the husband and one other. That’s not OK. It’s unbelievable that Richter, Radtke and Mazzurco would think that this is an acceptable arrangement for the management of the township’s $10 million. What poor judgment. Trustee Kolk needs to step down if his wife wants to keep her job. By the way, Trustee Kolk and his wife happen to live across the street from Fiscal Officer Craig Richter. It’s just too cozy.

VALOR Retreat Aims to Give Back To Returning Combat Veterans Submitted by Margie Wilber VALOR Retreat began as an idea of Larry Teichman’s, former U.S. veteran and founder/owner and president of Caritas Financial in Chester Township. Teichman — who owned several cabins and considerable acreage in Hocking Hills, and enjoyed the tranquil setting and breathtaking landscape there — considered how returning U.S. combat veterans and their families would equally enjoy such a retreat. As they say in the military, it was “boots on the ground” immediately in pursuit of this vision. “I always wanted to find a way to give back to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much for our freedom,” said Teichman, a VALOR Retreat board member. “I thought this serenity could be used to help the veterans and their families. The property already had three rental cabins on it, so my initial thought was to build a cabin or two and allow veterans and their families to use the place as a respite at no cost to them. That was the initial thought — the beginning.” After several months conversing with trusted advisors and friends, a VALOR Retreat Board was formed, comprising several community leaders and fellow veterans from various military branches. They were committed to meet monthly. Within a few months, the nonprofit organization received its 501(c)3 tax-exempt status. “As the VALOR board was working on this application, I consulted with my CPA and attorney. For a variety of reasons, it was recommended that High Rock enter into a lease with VALOR to build on and use the property,” Teichman said. “Therefore, a written lease with VALOR Retreat was drawn up whereby High Rock would lease to VALOR Retreat for 50 years at $5 per year and renewable for another 50 years.” Teichman said the exclusive purpose of VALOR Retreat — located in a 197-acre, private reserve in Hocking Hills — is to provide a free, recreational facility for combat veterans and their families. The location encompasses breathtaking landscapes, massive rock formations and abundant hiking trails, as well as fishing, archery, birdwatching and peaceful solitude. “This tranquil respite is a suitable way to honor and thank our brave veterans by offering them an opportunity to relax, reconnect with their families and recover from the ravages of combat,” Teichman said. “I became personally involved because I wanted to make sure this project would be completed.” The VALOR Retreat Board acknowledges a lot of work remains to be done to see this vision into fruition. Board members are currently hitting the pavement in pursuit of individuals who would like to partner in their mission and provide support — whether financial, in materials or simply manpower.
For VALOR Retreat Board member Barbara Titus, vice president of Sheoga Hardwood Flooring & Paneling, in Middlefield, serving on this board seemed a natural fit. “I am currently very involved with the Gary Sinise Foundation,” Titus explains. “The Gary Sinise Foundation was established by actor Gary Sinise, who portrayed Lt. Dan in the movie ‘Forrest Gump.’ His R.I.S.E program, an acronym for Restore Independence, Supporting Empowerment, helps those who sacrifice to defend our country: Combat veterans, first responders and their loved ones. Donations to the Gary Sinise Foundation R.I.S.E program are primarily used to build specially-adapted smart homes for our nation’s most critically wounded defenders.” Titus says Sheoga Hardwood Flooring and the National Wood Flooring Association have donated approximately $4.3 million in hardwood flooring, logistics and installation labor for the R.I.S.E homes. “Valor Retreat gives me and others the opportunity to continue to serve our deserving veterans at a local level,” Titus said. The VALOR Retreat Board’s mission is to build fully-equipped, handicap-accessible cabins and eventually a lodge that can serve as a gathering place for veterans who desire to share time with their “brothers” in the military. Meals will be provided in the lodge, as well as one-on-one counseling, family counseling, post-traumatic stress disorder therapy, art and music therapies, and other evidence-based therapies for free through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Overnight accommodations, including linens and bath towels, will be provided in each cabin as well. “Outdoor recreational activities are now considered one of the most effective therapeutic services we can offer our veterans,” said Tim Oldani, of Veterans Affairs. VALOR Retreat is only minutes from the popular Hocking Hills destinations of Old Man’s Cave, Ash Cave, Cedar Falls, Boulder Canyon, Hemlock Falls and Falling Water. ATV trails, horse stables, a canoe/kayak livery and ziplining are also available within a 10-minute drive. Whether for a weekend or a week-long vacation, VALOR Retreat at High Rock will be available to all veterans, regardless of age, race, income, sex or religion. “Our goal is to raise $3 million for the construction of four VALOR Retreat cabins and a lodge,” Teichman said. “Freedom is never free. Join with us as we honor, thank, inspire and strengthen those combat veterans and their families who gave so selflessly to protect the freedoms we enjoy today in the United States.” To donate to VALOR Retreat, visit the VALOR Retreat website at valorretreat.org or call Barbara Titus at 216.410.8993. Margie Wilber is a VALOR Retreat Board member.

perience, the Institute encourages and supports teachers as they strive to improve their practice. Upon completing the series, participants can earn the designation “Jennings Action Research Fellow” by taking an additional step to immediately apply what they have learned. During the next several months, they design, implement and document lessons incorporating ideas from the Institute under the guidance of university partners. They share the outcome of their work with colleagues at the Jennings Action Research Fellows Showcase the following spring. “Since 1959, the Jennings Foundation has recognized teachers who set an example by pursuing and implementing excellent teaching practices,” remarks Dr. Daniel Keenan, the foundation’s executive director. “We honor the Jennings Action Research Fellows because they demonstrate a commitment to further develop their own skills, to take action, and to reflect on those practices with their peers. This is what excellent teaching is all about.” The Jennings Educators Institute is held each fall at one of four universities in Ohio for educators teaching in that area of the state. The 2020 Institute will take place at Otterbein University for educators from central Ohio public school districts.
This summer, West Geauga Local School District sent a leadership team to Madison, Wis., for the National Integrated Comprehensive System for Equity Institute. Teachers and administrators collaborated during the three-day workshop to create an action plan to serve the needs of all students in West Geauga Schools. The work will be integrated into each of the school buildings in the upcoming year. Teacher and student training will be an essential part of the process. The cornerstones covered during the training will gradually be incorporated into all that we do at West Geauga Local Schools.
Shields Named Research Fellow
The Martha Holden Jennings Foundation recently named West Geauga Local Schools’ teacher Lynne Shields a “Jennings Action Research Fellow.” Dr. Shields is one of 16 teachers in northeast Ohio to earn the title in 2019, which was presented at Kent State University. The highly regarded distinction honors master teachers in select areas of Ohio each year. Candidates, who have been nominated by their superintendents, participate in the Jennings Educators Institute during the fall. A three-part professional development ex-

Chester Government Update The Chester Township Board of Trustees meeting on Aug. 1 began with a presentation by Jenn Bartone, executive director for the National Association of Mental Illness for Geauga County. Ms. Bartone talked about their recent picnic at the offices at the Maywood Plaza, the upcoming Mental Health Wellness Walk on Oct. 5 and the idea of a community garden in the township for next year. In general business, meeting minutes were approved as well as the sale of several cemetery deeds and disposal of obsolete equipment. The fire department received a $1,200 grant from The Ohio Department of Public Safety/Emergency Medical Services, with the money to be used for purchasing equipment for mass casualty triage. Trustees signed a letter requesting the Geauga County Engineer survey the rightof-way on Sherman Road between Heath and Sperry roads in preparation of resurfacing scheduled for early 2020. Necessary tree and brush clearing has not been scheduled, and all affected residents will be notified directly in advance of the work to be performed. The West Geauga Kiwanis Club will have a community shredding and electronics recycling on Sept. 14, 2019, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the Chester Police Department will assist the Chesterland Historical Foundation with their annual flea market on Aug. 17. Also on Aug. 17 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the West Geauga girls high school soccer team will be having a fundraising car wash at the town hall parking lot. Playsoft mulch was approved at a cost of
$3,080 to be installed at the Parkside Park playground and several residents commented how nice Parkside Park looks this year. Trustees appreciate the effort that SWB Landscaping has made in keeping the park in such nice condition. Chester Planning Committee (CPC) chair Anthony Nastasi provided the board with an update on the group’s work. The CPC has reached out to several local colleges requesting proposals for conducting a community survey. Responses will be provided to the trustees for discussions and a decision in the near future. At the end of the meeting, an executive session was held regarding employee compensation. Upon returning to public session, no decisions were made and the meeting was closed. Trustees can be reached vial cell phone or email. Contact information is: Joe Mazzurco (jmazzurco@chestertwp. org; 440-478-8293), Frank Kolk (fkolk@chestertwp.org; 440-477-3509) and Ken Radtke Jr. (kradtke@chestertwp.org; 440-488-7471).

A new attitude is the again the focus for the Wolverines football team. This year’s senior class talks a lot about moving forward in year two of the latest regime, and changing a culture that wasn’t always positive. “Overall we have a good group of seniors,” head coach Adam Sopkovich said. “And I’m excited this year.

Burrito Xpress on the Fast-Track to Drive-Thru
Submitted by Luis Verde
Burrito Xpress Fresh Mexican Grill opened its first location May 7 in Chester Township. While we do have plans to expand, Burrito Xpress is not a chain. We are a family-owned and operated restaurant cooking our food with time-tested recipes made fresh daily. Nothing is ever frozen or microwaved. Since our open, we have been working hard to provide this community with quality food, made fresh to order and served with a smile, and we are so grateful for the community’s outpouring of support. We are pleased to announce some exciting updates in the coming month. We will launch our website on Sept. 3, which will provide an online menu and the option to place your orders ahead of time online. On Sept. 9, we will be opening our drive-thru service. This drive-thru is an innovation for Mexican restaurants, as it has always been said, “It can’t be done.” To offer fresh made-to-order food that is not pre-assembled or microwaved, at a drive-thru pace, has always been viewed as impossible — until now. While we may not be able to compete with the speed of some

Doctor of Physical Therapy First in Treatment for Back Pain If chronic back pain is seriously impacting your quality of life, you are not alone. Low back pain remains the most common cause of lost work days and missed attendance at important events. It is non-discriminating in that it attacks both men and women equally and vicious and relentless when it hits, stopping us in our tracks, and making even basic movements excruciating.
Why physical therapy should be your first line of treatment
Cramer
Instead of rushing out for pain medications or getting on a waiting list for surgery, more and more people with chronic low back pain are seeing a physical therapist first. In the state of Ohio you do not need a physician’s referral or prescription to have your physical therapy services covered. You can see any physical therapist that you want and no physician can direct you to go to see their own or anyone else’s, YOU HAVE THE CHOICE! A mountain of research published in peer-reviewed journals around the world supports this. Physical therapy should be your first line of attack on lower back pain because it has proven to be effective, it saves money and it prevents dependency on pharmaceuticals.

Business Spotlight: Fig Leaf Coffee
Fig Leaf Shares Journey of the Coffee Bean from Seed to Cup A Community of Trustworthy Businesses. FIND ONE. BECOME ONE.
whybbb.org Better Business Bureau Serving Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake and Lorain Counties for more than 100 years.
By Tom Nemeth Owner and Operator Fig Leaf Coffee Company Most mornings I am lucky if I can make it to my coffee fast enough before I fall back asleep. I assume I am not alone, but do you ever think about where the coffee comes from? How does the coffee make it into the bag you open each day? The process is much more in-depth than you may think and below, I have provided a high-level summary of this impressive process. It will take approximately four years for the newly-planted coffee trees to bear fruit. The fruit, called the coffee cherry, turns a deep red when it is ripe and ready to be harvested. There is typically one major harvest a year. Once the coffee is harvested, it must be processed as quickly as possible to prevent fruit spoilage. Coffee is processed in one of two ways: The Dry Method takes freshly picked cherries and simply spreads them out on huge surfaces to dry in the sun. Cherries are raked and turned throughout the day, then covered at night or during rain to prevent them from getting wet. The Wet Method removes the pulp from the cherry so the bean is dried with only the parchment skin left on. Then, the beans are separated and water fermented for 12 to 48 hours to remove the slick layer of skin, after which they can be dried. Coffee beans must now be dried to approximately 11 percent moisture to properly prepare them for storage. Drying can be done in the sun or by machine. The dried beans are known as parchment coffee and are warehoused in jute bags until they are exported. Prior to export, they are milled to remove this parchment skin, then sized, graded and sorted. Defective beans are removed either by hand or by machinery. The milled beans, now referred to as green coffee, are loaded into jute bags in shipping containers, or bulkshipped inside plastic-lined containers. The forecast for 2019 green coffee production
worldwide is 169.1 million 60-kg bags. Now comes the fun part for us at Fig Leaf Coffee Company. We transform green coffee into the amazing product you enjoy every morning. We roast small amounts (referred to as batches) of single origin coffee, which enables us to provide consistent, full flavor coffee. During the roasting process, the beans are kept moving, which keeps them from burning. Understanding this process takes experience, practice and acceptance that not all batches you roast will taste great. When they reach an internal temperature of about 400 degrees Fahrenheit, they begin to turn brown and the fragrant oil locked inside the beans begins to emerge. After roasting, the beans are immediately cooled, which halts the roasting process. The faster the bean cools down, the better flavor. To get that amazing flavor out of the bean, we must grind and brew it properly. The objective of a proper grind is to get the most flavor in a cup of coffee. How coarse or fine the coffee is ground depends on the brewing method. If the grind is too coarse or fine for your brewing method, the flavor and strength will be improper. There are a number of brewing methods. The most popular with the general public is drip brewing. This is normally because of the ease and our fast-paced culture. The other brewing methods offer so much more in the way of flavor in your cup. They offer elegance, satisfaction and bold notes all in one cup. Our suggestion for brewing other than drip is the French Press or the Chemex Pour-Over. Both take about two minutes longer than drip, but offer amazing flavor extraction from the coffee. It’s well worth the few minutes of extra time. We at Fig Leaf Coffee Company want to educate and help everyone understand more about coffee in any capacity. Stop into our store located in West Geauga Plaza at 12628 Chillicothe Road, Chester Township. Please note we also circulate coupons in this paper for great deals.
