Life House Bukidnon Graduation and Tooth Fairy Visits

Before we delve into the coffee roasting process, we want to celebrate some heartwarming moments in our community. Last week, we were proud witnesses to the graduation of all the kids from Life House Bukidnon. Seeing these young minds embark on their educational journey fills our hearts with joy and hope for a better future.

Not only that, but both of our girls also lost some more teeth! It's always an nice milestone to witness, and we couldn't resist capturing those toothy grins on camera.

Time for Some Coffee Adventure

Now, onto the main event – coffee roasting! As some of you might already know, we've been feeling the irresistible pull of coffee, and our friend Bob has been urging us to get back into the roasting game. So, with much enthusiasm, we decided to embark on a coffee sampling journey.

We received some green coffee samples, including Arabica Typica processed using the natural method. To provide a detailed assessment, we invited Kuya Gil, an experienced roaster, to help us out.

Exploring the Green Coffee Samples

In our video, you'll get an exclusive look at the green coffee samples and our visual inspection process. Kuya Gil skillfully evaluates the beans' quality, pointing out potential defects and explaining how the natural process affects the appearance of the beans. We discuss the importance of proper drying and equipment to enhance the overall coffee quality.

Roasting and Cupping

After the assessment, we proceed to roast the beans and discuss the roasting process, taking into account the moisture content and appearance changes during roasting. Once the beans reach their desired roast level, we embark on the exciting cupping process. Although our cupping setup is rudimentary, it still allows us to experience and discuss the coffee's aroma and flavor profile.

Our Verdict

While cupping the coffee, we candidly share our opinions on the samples, noting the unique qualities and potential for improvement. We believe there's significant potential in the Philippine coffee industry, and by investing in better post-harvest equipment and processes, we can elevate the coffee's overall quality and taste.

Conclusion

As our coffee roasting adventure comes to a close, we want to thank Kuya Gil for his valuable insights and expertise. The experience of exploring green coffee samples, roasting them, and cupping the brews has been enlightening and exciting.

Join us in our pursuit of better coffee and a stronger coffee community in the Philippines. Stay tuned for more updates, and don't forget to show your smiles as we continue this flavorful journey!
