Sharing my coffee experiences on The Blog
Experience The Coffeevine — Europe’s favorite specialty coffee subscription
For the first time ever, UAE has a chance to experience some of the finest specialty coffee roasters from around the world, thanks to The Coffeevine. We not only have access to the Global Coffeevine Box, but also the European coffee roasters box. It’s not everyday we get access to some of the best international roasters and their coffees.
Triangulating my coffee palate
I have always been fascinated with developing my palate. I don’t know about you but the ability to identify different aromas and notes are rewarding. I found myself triangulating coffee recently with the Grandmother team. It was humbling to know that I am not very good in identifying defects, but on the plus side, it was a great learning experience.
Decaf coffee doesn’t have to taste bad
I feel it’s now incumbent upon me to write about the coffee that comes with every issue of Standart magazine. With #28, I was quite surprised to find a decaffeinated Panamanian blend. There’s a Geisha amongst other varieties in this coffee, exciting, but decaf made me think otherwise.
What I’m Brewing: Alexander Vargas Pink Bourbon by Tropicalia Coffee
It’s become a ritual to write about the coffee shipped with the latest edition of Standart.
The best India has to offer by Subko Coffee Roasters
I had a unique opportunity to get some coffee from India, and it was a no-brainer that I had to order from Subko Specialty Coffee Roasters & Bakehouse.
What I’m Brewing: Ethiopia Bombe Washed by Father’s Coffee Roastery
You got to love a good coffee story. In this post, I wanted to focus on two; the producer and the roaster. Especially when the name of the latter is named after the shepherd of the household. This Ethiopian was shipped with the 26th edition of Standart.
Highlights from World of Coffee Dubai 2022
When World of Coffee announced that it will take place in Dubai, I had the faintest idea that it would be at this scale. This is Europe’s largest coffee trade show that travels to a different city in Europe every year.
What I’m Brewing: Ethiopia Mohamed Ali by The Barn
This Mohamed Ali Ethiopia by The Barn came in with the Standart issue 24. The residents of Dubai are very fortunate to find The Barn coffee across many local cafes here.
What I’m Brewing: Colombia Asociación Palestina by Cloud Picker Coffee
This Colombian Asociación Palestina coffee came in with the 25th issue of Standart. Roasted by a Dublin based roaster called Cloud Picker Coffee Roasters. This Pink Bourbon is a natural, anaerobic processed, marmalade tasting bean of wonder. Toast your brioches because this is the jammiest jam I have brewed so far.
