From red cherry hands to the last clean sip, We learn by doing, by tasting the trip. Pre-Chorus Listen—distribution matters, quiet and near, Every honest detail becomes crystal clear. Chorus Seed to sip, we walk it slow, No shortcuts where the flavor goes. iO Coffee—come taste the proof, At iO Hidden Gem, under an honest roof.

Measure, map, then make it kind, So every cup can change a mind. Bridge If your cup feels lost, don’t blame your tongue, It’s just a skill still learning to be sung.
