Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, pressed with a touch of cream. New coffee may arrive on Monday.

I roast about once every two weeks. My setup requires that I roast about 75-80g at a time, but I typically do about a pound per roasting session.

I am quite jealous of your commitment. After roasting a green batch myself, I recognized the skill involved, especially for the home roaster. The experience was pleasurable, but it was a bit to much for me. The smell alone was divine.

Ah, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe.

Bliss it is to be alive to be able to sip, sample, and savour such nectar.
 
The last of the Klatch. Can't say what as it was all too little for an individual so I mixed all the beans together. The result is interesting.


Currently having it hot and black. Savor the blend of blends and single origins.

Also, trying a new tea blend I ordered in parts then blended together.

Roman and German chamomile, arnica, lavender, bit of hibiscus, lemongrass, lemon myrtle, rose petals, jasmine buds, bit of valerian and licorice root, honeybush tea, spearmint, tilia/linden, blackberry leaves, hawthorn. Knocks me out!


Back to Klatch... I've not decided what will be my regular, but I'm leaning toward Out of Africa blend and that really yummy Panamanian single origin. Both are in line in price with other third wave roasters. Bonus being they're very close so my orders come in quickly. I'll be trying another third-wave roaster, soon.
 
Been starting to drink my Golden Milk again, made from Golden Paste.
Which is made of various stuff such as; mostly turmeric, coconut oil, but also ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, stevia, coconut-milk.
I used to drink a lot of tea at nights during winters. Still some.
But Golden milk have replaced some of it. Insanely good and healthy.

As I was thinking in posting here about it, I started to wonder how it would taste with some shots of espresso in it, maybe not too late at night though. Will test some afternoon. :D

I do a plain turmeric with some sugar and lemon once or twice a week. Quite relaxing. If you like basil lemonade, then using the liquid and not the sediment from soaked turmeric along with ginger delivers a fantastic drink. A fantastic juice for the winter.

Interesting! Thanks for the info and link. We use turmeric a good bit, it's a no brainer in things like taco meat where I think it actually enhances the flavor (and black pepper is always used too, so you get the improved absorption).

The espresso machine (a lovely Italian number, all chrome and dials) was down for maintenance at lunch time, so neither espresso nor latte were available.

This is a lack I must remedy over the coming hours, when the machine - hopefully - will have been repaired and will be more than ready to greet me.

I've had golden milk made with ginger, turmeric, sea salt, and cashew milk. It was quite tasty. Actually, it might have made a good latte, now I think on it.

Oh my, well, all things considered, one can abide. But I sympathize!

I consider turmeric and ginger up there with salt and pepper. It's an indispensable spice. Speaking of which, looks like oxtail biryani will be tonight's dinner. Seeing as I thought I grabbed something completely different from the freezer this morning. Back to the turmeric; it's a fantastic analgesic. 4-5 grams with 3-4 grams of ginger powder seems to relax the nervous system. And unlike high strength pain killers, which are arguably better, the mixture is not an anticholinergic.

On topic, Costa Rican Tarrazu.

Then off to pick the ripe peppers from the garden, wash and prep them for preserving. Probably cut future blooms from here on out and prep them for winter.

Oh, cashew might be a good alternative. Don't have milk at home, but some cashew butter that I can add instead of the coconut milk. Practically just a more concentrated form then milk.
And of course I forgot the Himalayan pink salt that I have in too. Sea salt is fine too.

Herbs are an invaluable and powerful gift from Mother Earth.
They do so much good. Personally I hardly ever use anything else to heal myself.
