His name is Faolán for a start.

This morning/afternoon.

Ashbourne, County Meath.

Bean-based entrepreneur Faolán Smyth at the much-delayed ‘official launch’ of his coffee shop and CBD oil emporium Colours By Design and the realisation of a dream.

Faolán says his business thrived throughout the pandemic, serving freshly-ground Marley Coffee and CBD oils by GreenHeart, both Irish companies.

Faolán writes:

“The positive reaction and incredible support from the local community has been amazing. I am so grateful to have fulfilled my dream of opening this coffee shop with fantastic coffee whilst also introducing a new Irish brand like GreenHeart to help educate the benefits of CBD oils. It’s helping more than ever during these stressful times.”
