So I wanted the roast to be as fresh as possible - which included husking to get the fresh green beans for roasting. I am using beans that were picked in late 2014.

I know he'll love it! Great coffee isn't that easy to come by up there.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea how this was done. I wonder if the "coffee paper" could be used in making paper? What a thoughtful handmade gift. I enjoy the artistry of coffee daily!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how amazing the aroma and flavor of this fresh roasted coffee must be. Just thinking about that is delightful!
ReplyDeleteHi A, LAM & AA - thanks for checking out the roasting process. A - we have been enjoying it so hopefully so will J. LAM - at the moment the husks are being composted but paper makers might find they can make paper. AA - the good news is that so far it hashed a great aroma and taste. All - go well. B
ReplyDeleteB, I think I can smell it from here!
ReplyDeleteHi C - the coffee was enjoyed by our friend and ourselves - internationally famous coffee now!!! B
