Gilardino should've been executed at gunpoint after that shit

- - - Updated - - -

In other news:

This is the first time in my life that I'm not feeling anxious the day before a test. I'm actually chilling better today than I do most days where I don't have this stuff over my head. I'm not even that well prepared, I think I'm just seeing tomorrow as a challenge: Can I manouvre the examinators into the field where I can really nail everything or will they pull the other way and leave me a bit screwed. Working on my presentation right now, which should last about 10-11 minutes - the way I do this is everything when it comes to the discussion afterwards.

I have a feeling that I'll either get an A+ og a passing grade tomorrow :D

Talk about timing. Was just about to post on it, as I started drinking my roast batch about 30 min ago.

Like a number of Ethiopian dry processed stuff, it's a little wild, a little woolly, and it embraces some irregularities. This isn't quite as extreme as some Ethiopian dry-processed lots, but you can see the roughness to the roasted beans and the amount of chaff:

People forget that Yemen mocha is the first half of the classic mocha java blend. The stuff is pretty smooth, surprising for all other indications. I would purchase some again. It's such a classic, mother coffee varietal. (For example, I adore the chocolatey Maui Moka, which is a direct descendant.)
Oh, @X, you gotta have this stuff. :coffee: :lick: I let it rest a few days and gas out a little of any residual CO2. This Yemen Mokha Ismaili turns out to be fantastic as a rounded, smooth, but very flavorful espresso shot straight-up, yo.

Apparently in Yemen, "Ismaili" carries a caché that encourages forgeries. Tom at Sweet Maria's (where I got it from) wrote about it:

Ismaili is a "fabled" origin. Even in Yemen, in a local market in Sana'a, the spice-tea-qishr-coffee vendor told me his green beans (much of it broken "triage" coffee, mixed with cardamom pods) were truly special. "It's Ismaili coffee, " he said. I didn't mention that I slept on the floor of a villagers house the night before, in the mind-boggling vertical mountains of Ismaili, a landscape etched in stone with ancient terraces lined with ghat and coffee trees.
