Intelligentsia Chicago Mural

Our Chicago Roasting Works gets a facelift.

On August 26, 2011, Eulojio Ortega (ortegastudios.com) came by the Chicago Roasting Works to paint our logo on the building. We decided to capture this momentous event as it happened.

Coffee was first discovered in western Ethiopia before 1000 AD. Ethiopians consumed the cherry’s fruit or made tea from the pulp for several hundred years before brewing a beverage from the roasted seeds.
