    Lisbon coffee week
    For the second time at a more or less large coffee event in Lisbon (the first - the world aeropress championship 2024). Extremely friendly atmosphere, cuppings, barista battles, a sea of coffee, good and not so good. I was interested in trying new roasters and being aware of the assortment of those I know. From the interesting things - a whole stand with different brands from the Czech Republic (I liked Mexico from Bean Smith's), guys from Barcelona Right Side, Ecuadorian bean-to-bar chocolate Paccari, Latvian kombucha Rudy's (mandarin with basil top). Also attended a cupping from Berlin's Five Elephant - there were a couple of decent basic coffees (Indonesia Pantan Musara), but overall without emotions. I noticed that for evaluating the aroma of dry coffee, new devices are being used (in 3 photos). Took home chocolate, a pack from Senzu (their stand was among my favorites, exceptional lot Colombia Pitalito - clear notes of guava, starfruit, mind-blowing bubblegum), a signature coffee mug. #coffee #senzu #rightside #fiveelephant #coffeeweek

    Innefable Coffee (Seville) x Alba bistro
    Yesterday we were at a cupping at Alba, this time their own coffee was presented by roasters from Seville - Innefable Coffee. Of course, there were super bright lots at the end of the table - the most powerful Colombia with the taste of ginger liqueur (cherry!), a strawberry field with a wush wush, the famous cider from Néstor Lasso, but I want to note an excellent balanced lot for every day - Burundi Muninya Long Miles. Either I haven't had Burundi for a long time and missed it, or something else, but black tea with honey, rosehip, prunes and dried apricots was in this cup, just wonderfully. It was funny to observe regional peculiarities in descriptors - what for a Spaniard is melon, butter, Catalan cream and mango smoothie, for us will be strawberries with cream, dried apricots and currant leaf. In general, very decent roasters, especially when it comes to basic lots! PS Tomorrow I'm going to Lisbon coffee week, very excited (then I'm going to a festival of natural Portuguese wines, but I don't promise a report from there) #innefable #seville #albabistro #cupping
