First day back at work for 2019, and the first roasts of the New Year as well. Most of my activity has been back and forth at work and of course roasting and packing coffee.


2nd January and first day back at work after the Festive break, the only problem with having just over a week off work is the orders keep coming in while we are closed - so getting them all shipped on the first day back is a challenge. And the coffee I roast has been popular so I had to put in some after hours roasting tonight to catch up with the orders.

First up is Kenya Peaberry - as the name suggests these coffee beans are very small - and quite rounded compared to normal beans. The normal flat beans sit two side by side in the coffee plant cherry - the flat side of the bean is where they meet. A peaberry is a natural mutation which occurs in just 5% of a coffee crop - only one single bean grows in the cherry instead of two, it is rounded and smaller - but it is often said the single beans hold much more flavour then their double cherry counterparts. Often the Peaberry will be included as part of the beans in that make up an origin sack, but sometimes they are hand sorted out to be offered as their own grade of coffee. Compared to the next photo you will see these beans are smaller and rounder.

Indonesian Old Brown Java is next, these beans are processed from the cherries but then stored upto 3 years in the moist, warm rainy season air. It creates a unique stronger taste to the coffee, and also reduces acidity.

This is my Cattle Market espresso blend - comprising a mix of Brazilian and Honduras Arabicas roasted just to second crack, it works perfectly for espresso giving a rich smooth Crema.

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, one of the my best sellers this popular arabica has floral aromas with sweet taste, low acidity and a medium body.

Indian Monsooned Malabar is last, another coffee that is stored for years in a warm, moist environment - loosing acidity and gaining body.

A busy day of roasting, and a variety of coffee beans to enjoy.

The greatest challenge we face on Steemit is getting our posts seen, I have always believed the simplest and best value way of doing this is by commenting on the blog posts of others, the more you engage people and interact with them the greater the chance they will visit your own blog and return the favour. Other then spending all my free time commenting on Steemit posts, I also distribute coffee roasting machines and also espresso coffee machines and roast my own Speciality Coffee Range. being one of the premium coffee suppliers Yorkshire including a wide range of filter coffee sachets
