My first cupping and close to home!

You know the great thing about writing for a coffee blog is getting to do coffee reviews. I’ve drank coffee–granted mostly bad, generic coffee–since high school–strong and black at first, milk or cream now. I’m lucky enough to live on a somewhere that not only has several wineries/vineyards and a brewery but also it’s own local coffee roaster. Salt Spring Coffee Co (aka Roasters and Salt Spring Roasting Company) has been roasting coffee for years now. The esteemed CBC commentator, author, and Salt Spring resident Arthur Black has even commented on this noble establishment–in addition to being a regular.
So I not only got to experience my first cupping today, but I got to do it right in my own backyard–proverbially. Arieanna is going to write up a great review of it, but I’d like to personally thank Robbyn and Mickey for telling us all about how they got started in the roasting business, roasting and brewing coffee, and most of all for the lovely gift of coffee we got to take home.
The Blogaholics and I are going to start the day with Ethiopian and followed by Roaster’s Special. You know tasting five different coffees–five rather different coffees–was amazing. You can really start to tell subtle differences. Now I also know what I really like–medium/dark blend, heavier towards dark.
Robbyn and Mickey, thanks again and we’ll see you Monday morning for the view into the whole roasting process!

Any very good good quality item comes in a higher price. But, that consequently puts men and women away from it. Jordan Shoes Several people make much better offers by investing tiny amounts on shoes that cost them significantly lesser than the pricey top quality ones. Something which comes in a less expensive value is typically more of demand. Nike Air Shoes This certain reason creates a great deal of loss for all those branded companies that sell pricey items. They appear for ways to boost the entire income earned from their retail shops. The most effective approach which has worked truly amongst a great deal of individuals may be the discounting technique.A reduction is normally put on a product, Air Jordan Shoes that is not bought from enormous amounts. 1 other reason for companies to offer their merchandise at a lesser value would be to grab the interest of your huge quantity of individuals.
