Happy International Coffee Day!   International Coffee Day is a celebration of the world's most beloved beverage and the farmers who grow it. As we sip our morning brews, it's worth considering the journey of coffee beans from farm to cup. Coffee beans, the seeds of the Coffee plant, are typically grown in tropical regions with high altitudes and abundant rainfall.   Coffee cultivation is a labour-intensive process that involves hand-picking ripe cherries, which are then pulped and fermented to remove the outer layers. The beans are then dried, either in the sun or using mechanical dryers, before being roasted to develop their desired flavour and aroma. The roasting process is a crucial step that can significantly impact the final taste of the coffee. Factors such as roasting time, temperature, and the type of bean all contribute to the unique flavour profile of each coffee. As we celebrate International Coffee Day, let's raise a cup to the farmers who work tirelessly to bring us this delicious and invigorating beverage.     #internationalcoffeeday #srilanka #goviai #smartagriculture #SustainableFarming

Something's Brewing - Jan/Feb 2024 https://bit.ly/3UWVZzt Leaf Tea v Teabags Many people’s experiences of tea are teabags bought in a supermarket. They are quick, easy to use, and cheap but always lacking the superior taste and nuances of loose-leaf tea.  Tea bags are typically made of dust and small particles of inexpensive low-quality teas. In contrast, the high-quality loose leaf which is made from whole leaves. Whole leaves allow for the release of more essential oils and flavours during brewing, they develop complex flavours with many nuanced layers just like a fine wine. The leaf size difference is the result of the different harvest methods. Orthodox loose-leaf teas are handpicked with meticulous care, dexterity and skill to ensure the integrity of the leaf. Whereas teabag teas are mechanically harvested by rotary blades and suction, cutting the leaves into lots of tiny irregular pieces.

Yellow Bourbon El Vergel Colombia This coffee is bold and full of character, bursting with ripe strawberry and tropical fruit notes. There’s a subtle spiced booziness reminiscent of rum, complemented by a rich sweetness and a hint of funk. It’s a natural process coffee, fermented for 48 hours to highlight the fruity flavours and achieve a balanced sweetness. After fermentation, the beans are sun dried for eight days in mechanical silos, allowing them to absorb warmth and increase microbial activity. Once dried, the beans undergo a 35-day stabilisation in Grain Pro bags before being milled. https://lnkd.in/gzSwgAwk #coffeebens #filtercoffee #specialtycoffee

Drying or fermentation: what’s the difference for tea? PLŪKT NORDIC BLACK TEA’s distinctive flavor profile arises from a careful fermentation process akin to crafting fine wine. What’s fermentation? 1. It begins with the harvesting of fireweed leaves. 2. The leaves are heated to a specific temperature. 3. The plant is then hand-kneaded and swirled. 4. This process lasts for several days in total. 5. We assess whether fermentation has taken place - if the plant has been thoroughly heated, it emits a sour aroma and changes from green to dark brown or black. 6. And only then do we put the tea to dry. 7. Finally, we package it into pyramid bags. Taste it. #PLŪKT #NordicBlackTea #FermentedTea
