In my Bean Hopper this week- Tanzania Ngila AA

For the past 3 weeks, i had two different blends in my Bean Hopper. The first, i named it AFRICAN BEE. It consisted of Medium-Dark roasted Kenya AA and Ethiopia Sidamo, bright and winey and when packed enough in the porter, able to stand out in the milk based cappuccino. The second is a test blend which i named it GAIA. Yet to retail but a perfect harmony of African, South American and Indonesian coffee. I roasted the Indonesian too dark though, giving a pungent aftertaste.

Today, i had some freshly roasted Tanzanian bean.Single-origin! When grounded, there was a burst of dark chocolate and strawberries. Pulled it at 28 secs, the dark golden crema with red hues just so picture perfect!! 3 sips was all it take for me to judge and the coffee was simply irresistable. Gonna share it with Sham, Ian and the rest tomorrow in the Academy.....
