The Black Coffee Chat
Season 1
Episode 2 - Thanksgiving Blend w/ Kylie Jones
by Kaderek Smith
In this cozy episode of The Black Coffee Chat, we’re diving into the Thanksgiving spirit with Starbucks’ 2024 Thanksgiving Blend. Joining me is the amazing Kylie Jones, Senior Captain of the Texas Tech University Color Guard and Monterey High School Color Guard Director. We reflect on the art of giving thanks, share our holiday plans, and talk about the importance of de-stressing during busy times. From navigating relationships to finding balance in life, we’re keeping it real and checking in on how this semester has been treating us. Whether you’re here for the coffee, the conversation, or just some holiday vibes, grab a cup and join the chat.
In the very first episode of The Black Coffee Chat, we dive into one of Starbucks’ classic roasts: Pike Place. As one of their original brews, Pike Place has a balanced, well-rounded flavor, and we break it all down during our coffee tasting. I’m joined by my special guests, Ayden Anzaldua and Ryleigh Metting, as we not only chat about coffee but also take a peek at some of the exciting new drinks Starbucks has on the horizon. Plus, we couldn’t resist talking a little bit of tech! From start to finish, this episode was full of great conversation, way better than I expected for our debut. So grab a cup, sit back, and enjoy the chat!
