schlaflos in die tasse
I’m writing to you while enjoying a cup of a Geisha Travel (?) roasted by Echo aka Boki so he can probably tell you more about the travel part. It’s a honey lactic process which definitely shows in the predominantly lactic character of this coffee’s acidity structure. This cuppe was brewed in my UFO, a brewer that I considered for my Brewer’s Cup routine and therefore tested quite thoroughly. I adjusted my usual recipe for this kind of brewer because this is pretty long off roast tbh. This coffee is a best-ager for a rather light roast.
As the busy first three weeks of December - that always make me feel kinda tired of everything - are coming to a peak, I feel joy thinking of the morning on 25th. When I wrote my last blog I said: “my shelves are overflowing with all kinds of coffee since I’m heavily testing, researching and learning at home too, instead of just brewin’ and sippin’ for funsies”.
The fun is slowly returning to brewing for myself at home. The shelves are still overflowing and I’m soooo happy to give away some great exceptional coffees (dm me on ig) that are still at very good ages off roast. Now we find ourselves with a very smooth rich Aroma Nativo lot, that still has all the delicacy in the world.
echo coffee roasted this coffee and i’m enjoying it now more than ever
unpaid obviously i just like the coffee, duh
love the lactic acidity that heavily affects the tactile experience aka body, in combination with the rather delicate fresh notes of this lot
Hi, it’s been a long time. Once again because this year has been a lot. Now I can focus my coffee brain on different things like sharing my thoughts that nobody’s asked for. I feel pretty good about January because I’ll have so much ideas for what to do with my off time! Like…
reading books or making music or smth idk.
I have been eating a lot of daikon, I haven’t been eating potatoes as much as I would’ve liked to. I’m hosting a dinner party tomorrow and there will be some potatoes. I have found joy in cooking again, especially rice dishes.
That’s a kind of joy that I will never find in making coffee for myself or in struggling through busy Decembers. Those are just things that are part of my life because of decisions that I’m very happy with over all. And hey, December has a lot of good times to offer but I’m just too tired to have them lift my spirit and have said spirit stay lifted for more than two nights of mediocre sleep and a shift while it’s dark out.
Tonight (the day of writing) I will do a little bit of after dinner cleaning in hopes to stay off my phone and when the alarm rings tomorrow (publishing date) I will rise early to make myself some Nepal Chiyabari black tea, look out the window for a couple of minutes and do a workout before getting back to cleaning and errands. At least that’s what I’m telling myself to make me feel less stressed!
See you soon!
Bussi, Bussi!
