Salt Spring Island Coffee Cupping
Related entries in Coffee Experiences
As Arieanna wrote earlier we did a cupping when we visited Salt Spring Coffee. We tried five of their roasts plus a “guest” roast. I wish I had taken notes about the experience, it is hard to remember now what they tasted like. At least you get to see pictures of them. So here they are from light to dark:
Mexican
Peru
Canopy Bird
Ethiopian Yergacheffe
Roaster’s Special
It was great to try them in that order, to see how the acidity and flavour changed. And they were all pretty good, we took some Yergacheffe home and Tris got some Roaster’s Special.
The “guest” coffee I mentioned was a small sample of beans they had frm Japan. It was extremely nasty stuff, smelled like burnt rubber and tar and tasted horrible, the after-taste lasted for a while. Arieanna and Tris refused to try it after smelling it. You can see from the pictures below how uneven the roasting is, some beans where completely charred. I don’t know if this is typical of the stuff they get in Japan, but it was an interesting experience to compare a really bad roast with some pretty good ones.

My friend K and I usually go to Saltspring Island coffee on Main and 26th because the coffee is awesome! The “Canadiano”(aka”Americano”) is creamy wonderful stuff. Coffee from the gods! However, I don’t know what happened. We went there today and it was horrible. I heard from others that the coffee isn’t very good now as there seems to have been a change of ownership or something of the sort recently. So we went today to try it out and see whether people were just TOO critical. My coffee was burnt and K’s coffee was weak. We were dismally disappointed. Wherever are we going to get that creamy goodness now?

Saw a son of the building Lord, I sank into the serious thinking. I think, if not the son of the building Lord top up, is a kind of betrayal of the truth, is the great compromise on fallacy. Therefore, I decided to threw the top!!!!!
