2nd January 2018 and yes I am back to work, which is good news Steemians because it means I can continue my popular series on the amazing coffee I get to work with every day.

If you have not tried coffee from Tanzania you should, it is a wonderful African coffee full of flavour. Let's take a look at the green coffee beans.
And you should know by now that I roast these so that they can the be ground and brewed to make amazing coffee.
It's another light roast, just after first crack to develop the best flavours but not smother them with too dark a roast.
The beans in the Aeropress - my brewing method of choice. I measure out the dose of beans into the Aeropress, and the tip them into the grinder and grind straight back into the Aeropress.
Once ground, I tend to use a setting between filter and espresso for the Aeropress. Now to add hot - but not boiling water, as near to 90 degrees Celsius as you can get.
My must have acquisition for 2018 is a tripod mount, wobbly videos are just not the thing - after all this isn't the Blair Witch Project I am producing!
Back on the cup and we are ready to plunge this coffee of delight.
Rich colour and great aroma from this coffee - let's learn a little more about it.
So we now know what to expect - and how does it taste?
Delicious, definitely getting the cranberries from this cup. Let's enjoy some of the colourful photos my broker provides.
What are these wonderful, hard working ladies doing? Sorting the coffee beans. Coffee is graded - on bean size, and also to get a greater price for coffee it needs careful sorting to remove stones, foreign objects and defective beans. This process is still mostly done by hand - a long, hard and tedious task to ensure each 60kg sack of coffee contains only the best coffee beans and nothing else. Until you get a cup of delicious coffee the journey is long and hard, it can take upto 4 years for a coffee plant to grow and finally produce coffee cherries. Collecting the coffee cherries because of where the coffee plants prefer to grow at high altitude and also to protect the plants so they keep on producing fruit has to be done by hand - then it needs drying to remove the two beans from the single cherry, the beans need sorting and then putting in a sack. Then it needs shipping from the growing region in the world to where the green coffee is needed.

Few people know the hard times people go through to harvest coffee
I know, so much work goes on in the journey to a cup of coffee. Thanks for taking a look and leaving a comment.
Dope post! Love the Aeropress tips, too. I have switched to using it every day and I love it. I have just been using the scoop that came with it to measure the beans- is that right? Question- do you stir in the bloom that the grinds create when you add the water, or just leave it?
Beautiful photos and I love all the coffee info!! I'm excited to follow your posts this year. Cheers!

Great post. This coffee sounds like my perfect flavour profile. I am blogging about my coffee addiction and the Aeropress but I am a mere amateur by comparison.
