Fun Fact Friday 📖

&&&

Did you know that Matcha is not that different from green tea? The caffeine that comes from Matcha is supposed to be more calming and motivating than other forms of caffeine.

A Matcha Latte is traditionally a form of dried matcha leaves ground down into a fine powder. This is then blended with hot water and often a form of sweetener. This is then added to either steamed or chilled milk.

Get to know your barista 💛

Jeff is one of our Kitchen Techs and works both at The Kitchen CoMPany and The aMPersand. He is hardworking and always willing to jump in where he's needed. He is always making people laugh and cracking jokes. We would not have the fun-loving atmosphere we have without Jeff! He is always looking for ways to grow and improve the spaces he is in. He always has creative new ideas!

We asked Jeff what is something that he has grown in since working at The aMPersand. Jeff shared that he has learned how to make different drinks while working here! Thank you, Jeff, for all you do!

Fun Fact Friday 📖

&&&

Developmental disabilities typically impact day-to-day functioning and usually last a person's lifetime. Most developmental disabilities begin before a baby is born, but some can happen because of an injury or infection.

According to the CDC, developmental disabilities affect approximately 17% of children between the ages of 3 and 17. Some of the ones that are more commonly known include ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, and Tourette Syndrome.
