My nigga Matty Ristretto called me up this morning, I was still asleep, late night >_<
I made my way to ‘nulla, Grind was our first stop and it was great to see a busy ’spro bar in full swing, we ordered our ristretto’s and sat, chat, and watched.
Two more ristretto’s later and the Grind parade waned as lunch was upon us, it was epic to watch the baristas working and to taste their brews.
H.a.m., was our second stop, the “mabo” outdoors was enigmatic and very relaxing, our first ristretto - near perfection, lots of character, body, cleanliness, a very elegant cup of coffee. I was then surprised and humbled as our second ristretto (a single “o” indian coffee), was a display of modern day coffee growing brilliance.This “P/Nat” coffee displayed fruit characters that I have never tasted from Indian coffee, WoWzORs!
It brought me back to the first natural processed central I encountered, I remember tasting and pausing afterwards, the words that came to me were, “F-€k, I’ve never had a central like that before!” the past few years of coffee growing, from my experience, I’d say three years, has seen some traditions left behind in processing style and regional methods and the resultant coffees that are being produced have been a breath-of-fresh-air, new fantastic tastes to explore….
As a soon to be coffee roaster, I am excited as to what the future of coffee growing can yield for us!
Hey there Dom,
sounds like a good sunday out @ nulla…….
so i know it’s been a long time coming (and frustating at times…) but is there an ETA of the next chapter of WHC? how soon are you a ’soon to be’ roaster? personally (and i’m sure i’m not on my larry lonesome) can’t wait and reckon it will take WHC and your brew to a new level
thanks again for bringing a real coffee culture to the shire and educating us all with a great spro!
Hey Drew, is this Drew the merc-mech? If so a big “HI” to you, if not, well a big “HI” also
Last I spoke to Boyd and Cheryl they have built all our thing-zys and are almost ready to ship.
They had an emergency where one of there clients didn’t clean out the “chaff”. Collector and a fire ensued where by causing huge damage to the roaster, and were called away to fix it.
If we have the roaster landed and running by NyE 2011, that would be sweet…
Hey Dom yes it is merc-mech Drew, thanks for the update info,
bring on NyE 2011 then i say!!
