Anne Nylander is Founder and President of TampTamp Inc. The Seattle native’s lifelong passion for coffee bloomed into a career after leaving retail management in 2006. Anne began a quest to discover as much as she could about coffee – a journey which she continues to travel to this day. Anne has studied with trainers, green coffee buyers, coffee roasters, large and small retailers, and fellow professional baristas, to discover the best possible ways to prepare and present specialty coffees. In addition, Anne’s passion for business and entrepreneurship allows for a unique perspective on bringing coffee improvements to companies in tandem with sound investment decisions, improved customer service experiences, increased returns, and better margins.
Recognizing a need to support quality-focused businesses and those that seek to improve product quality in the rapidly growing specialty coffee industry, Anne founded TampTamp Inc to build and foster excellent coffee programs in the Northeast region. She has moved to Seattle WA and now works with clients nationally, maintaining a strong relationship with NE clients and eager to work with Seattleites ready to raise the bar of coffee quality in the Pacific Northwest.
Anne frequently travels the world to both learn and share coffee knowledge, and is eager to learn more.
