Smittens Coffee Stripped-Down Appreciation Workshop

 Went for Smittens Coffee Stripped-Down Appreciation Workshop with Fad last Saturday,

An interesting story behind Indian Monsooned Malabar

 The dry fragrant of El Salvador El Transito Washed Bourbon

 Ethiopian Yirgacheffee almost ready to be cupped.

 The consistent roast colour of Brazil COE lot 21

 The group of people that attended the workshop today.

and lastly the coffee we all came for, Panama Geisha..

Roasted here brewed over there

Panama Berlin, El Salvador Saint Teressa and Mexico Chiapas. Roasted 200g of each at Smitten Coffee & Tea. Shared some Panama with the gangs at The Broers Cafe. Tasted it as a V60 pourover drip and via a chemex. Boy.. the chemex brew was great, compared to the drip which is average.
I have some raw beans to be roasted. Let me know if you're interested to do the honour of roasting them.

Green Bean Trader

Do you know where's this place? This is one of the coffee trader in Singapore where you can source your raw green coffee beans if you're
venturing into coffee roastery business.

"singaporeans knows their coffee"

Unplanned cupping at Smittens Coffee & Tea. Coffees cupped were kenya (i'm not sure which part of Kenya), Sumatra Blue Batak and Indian Monsoon Malabar. Talking about Indian Monsoon beans, i have another 100 grams of it,bought at Toby's Estate Asia. Who wants it?
There were 3 different roast profile for the Kenyan beans. One was roasted till 11mins, another 14mins and a batch till 15mins. By now every single one in Singapore would already "know their coffee", hence i won't explain much about this. I had some peppery notes with slight acidity for the Sumatra Blue
Batak. Batak reminded of an ex-colleague, Pastiria Sri Ayu Tumbuck.hahah!
Lastly,the Indian Monsoon beans, as
expected there is no significant flavours that we could captured. It tasted like the bark of a typical raintree along Singapore roads. No i hadn't taste a tree bark before! When you're free, stop by the side of the road
and smell one.Don't bite the tree! Smell it, be creative.
