About
My name is Jarika Johnson and I am the founder of Asheville Coffee Tours. I began the business in 2019 when I was a Barista at Trade & Lore. I wanted to combine my passion of coffee and traveling to create a special experience in Asheville. I have toured coffee farms in Central and South America and wanted to showcase the coffee industry in Asheville. I have travelled to many countries around the world and I always look for tours to do when I’m in a new place. I understand how overwhelming it is to know what to do, where to eat, and make the most of out of your trip. I want guest to feel welcome whether they are a huge coffee drinker or not, our tours are the perfect way enjoy your time in this small mountain city.
