Neighborhood Roast: Building Tuckaway Coffee Roasters in Charleston, South Carolina
Chip Colon, owner and operator of Tuckaway Coffee Roasters in Charleston, South Carolina learned to count time in routines long before he learned to read roast charts. Growing up in midtown Tulsa and then studying music in Nashville, he traded late-night gigs for early morning espresso shifts, the two lives folded together: a musician’s patience and a roaster’s precision. When he first walked into a Nashville café and was handed a mop and a set list, he stayed. Later in his tenure he was offered the opportunity to manage the cafe at the young age of 23. Fearful but ambitious Chip accepted the adventure. “I could either learn how to run a business and fail miserably,” he told himself, “Or I could learn it and know how not to run it.” He chose the learning, and the learning became everything.
