I am truly moved by so many of you asking about my next newsletter. It warms my heart to know that you are reading it and for that I am grateful. In this week’s newsletter, I cover a beautiful cafe in Sharjah called Sabaku, the UAE Aeropress Championship, upcoming events such as the Esmeralda Auction Cupping in collaboration with M-Cultivo and Victoria Arduino taking place today and much more.
The Coffee Story: Herman Jubya
I first met Herman briefly at the old branch of Coffee Architecture, at that time he brewed an Ethiopian Cup of Excellence on a Cortado roasted by Archers, needless to say it was excellent. They were on the process of moving to a new location at Saadiyat Island overlooking the beach.
What I’m Brewing: Ethiopia Halo Beriti and Panama Graciano Cruz by Archers
I knew Archers meant business when I first brewed their Costa Rica H17. This coffee was super complex and every time I changed my recipe, I got different notes. Strong notes of green apple one time, and sweet and sour pineapple the other time. Was it my inability To brew consistently or was it just magic? Let’s go with the former because I love experimenting.
