i have been helping my friend out with his newletter and in order to fulfill my part, i've been reading up on the various coffee available; the different grades, origins, how to rate the coffee etc. i find it really interesting how unlike wines, coffee books are not as detailed, and a zillion times smaller. thankfully in some way coz research is made much faster but for such a popular drink, i find that the realm of coffee isnt very well explored.
but here's some bit sized info
- the 2 most produced beans are robusta and arabica
- robusta beans - cheaper to grow, more caffine
arabica beans - more flavourful, more body, less bitter
- an overly roasted bean will kill the taste/musk bad quality beans
- the best way to start knowing beans is thru their regions
- each coffee cherry has 2 beans
ok so enuf abt coffee... ive been reading up on it all day... something else more interesting now
ive been told just last night that i will be one of my closest friends bridesmaid :D she was going to offer me the maid of honour but i believed that that position shd be reserved for her sister that she is close to. the only reason she offered me the maid of honour was coz she figured her sister wldnt be arnd to help her out but i offered to help her either way :) anyway i'll also haf to be maid of honour for my cousin a few mths before her wedding hahaha what better year to loose more wt rite
goodness.... 2 weddings coming up
im sooo happy people arnd me are finding their partners and choosing to settle. weddings will be such fun, meeting up with people frm all over will be wonderful :)))
now only to live thru this weekend
