Zvu Vas na kavicku / Come and have a cup of coffee

Moc Vas vsechny zdravim. Nejaky cas jsem tu nebyla, bylo u nas jak se rika pilno. Mesic zari byl pro nas plny zmen. Prestehovali jsme se z jihu Australie 2500 km na sever. Splnil se nam tak sen mit leto po cely rok. Mit modrou oblohu bez mracku, videt trepetajici se palmy v mirnem vanku a citit vuni more me asi nikdy neomrzi. 

 

Hello everyone. I haven't been here for a while. A lot was happening in September. We moved from cold south of Australia 2500km to tropical north. Our dream came true - to live where summer is all year around. I don't think I will ever get bored of blue sky, palm trees, smell of ocean and hot weather.

Mame skvele sousedy. Hned na privitanou jsme byli pozvani na baby shower party pro stene jmenem Jasper. Sesli jse vsichni sousede a nechybel ani vynikajici dort.

We are fortunate and have a great neighbors. The very first weekend we have got invitation for baby shower party. The baby is new puppy named Jasper. All neighbors came to celebrate and Jasper even got a cake!

  

Soused me obdaroval kavovymi boby. Rad zahradnici a experimentuje. Zasadil kavovnik, kteremu se v skutku dari, a nejlepsi na tom je, ze on sam kavu nepije :) Strom obral do posledniho zrnka a tak nemam fotku jeho kavovniku, nebot zbyly jen hole vetvicky a ty nevypadaly uz tak lakave.

Byla jsem nadsena myslenkou mit domaci kavu, ale kdyz jsem videla ten kybel ktery me cekal vyloupat, tak mi usmev opadl.

Lovely Michael gave me a coffee beans. He is great gardener and loves to experiment with different plants. His coffee tree is doing great, but funny thing is he doesn't drink a coffee :)

I was pretty excited of that idea to pick coffee beans and go thru all process to have a homemade coffee, but when I saw the bucket full of little tiny berries that need it to be peeled to get beans out of the shell, my jaw dropped. 

 Pripadala jsem si jako popelka a priznam se, ze jsem nevyloupala cely kybel ale nejakou hodinu jsem nad nim fakt stravila.

 I have to admit I didn't peel whole bucket. That needs more pair of hands and lots of patience. But I spent couple of hours over the bucket :)

Po loupaci procedure nastal cas kavove zrna dobre proplachnout vodou a nechat je na slunicku susit alespon par dni.

Pote nastala procedura prazeni. K tomu jsme pouzili specialni stroj :) popcorn maker :) Krasne se nam roustovalo a nadherna vune prazene kavy se sirila pres cely dum.

When process of peeling was done, beans were triple washed and rinsed and than needed to get dry for few days.

After that was time to roast them. We used special machine :) popcorn maker :) it worked beautifully and I wish you could smell it. I think I love the smell of fresh roasted coffee more then coffee itself. 

 Spravne se maji oprazene zrnka nechat tyden odlezet, nez se pomelou ale to jsme nevydrzeli a pomleli jsme aspon trochu abychom mohli kavu ochutnat.

We suppose to leave roasted beans rest for few days to improve in flavor but we had no patients and grinded small batch so we could taste it. The spice grinder was perfect for this job not to mention it added some spice flavor :)

Ted uz vim, kolik se skryva prace za jednim salkem kavy a obdiv tem, kteri tvrde pracuji na plantazich.

Chcete-li vedet o kave vic, treba kym byla objevena, jestli kozou, Columbusem nebo anglicanem,TADY je zajimave video na YouTube.

Now I know how much hard work is behind one cup of coffee. I admire those who work hard at coffee or tea plantains. And did you know who discovered coffee? Legend says it was a goat :) she ate the beans and leaves from the coffee tree and was all fired up and full of energy. When goat farmer noticed that he tried the same thing and it had same effect on him :) But who knows, it's up to you if you believe in legend :)

 Kavicka byla fakt dobra a zarucene domaci! :)

Mejte se krasne a vychutnejte si tu vasi oblibenou :)

Coffee was pretty good we enjoyed it black and it was truly 100% homemade :) 

Have a great day and enjoy your cup of coffee!
