smoking monkey republicans drinking Gesha coffee
Right now I am sitting here drinking my a cup of the remaining Panama Esmeralda Gesha that I had roasted this past Thursday and pondering what I should write about in my coffee roasting blog today. In order to get more people to visit my site, I have been considering turning it into political blog, just in time for the upcoming election madness. Those blogs seem all the rage these days, and anyone with some sort of half assed opinion on how this country should or should not be run, seems to be blogging it out to a hungry audience. Or, I guess I could just start reguritating funny photos that I swiped off other blog sites. People just seem to go all out for pictures of monkeys smoking pall malls and whatnot. And to think I actually thought showing off pics of my growing coffee cup collection was enough. No dammit, I need a pic of a coked up chimpanzee on roller skates in order to get noticed on the internet. Ok enough about Dubya, I think I need to calm down. I am getting all worked up after going through all the most popular blog sites here on today.com, hoping to come up with some inspirational ideas that would make my little blog here actually get some traffic.
Dang, I drank all my coffee already, I guess I better go pour me some more before it gets all cold and stuff in my chemex brewer. I really needed to start pouring it into the thermal carafe that came with the coffee maker that my parents gave me a couple of years ago for christmas. I really do not use the coffee maker that often, but that thermal pot does keep hot liquids hot. Ok, let me go pour myself another cup of this way overpriced coffee. I will be right back. So don’t you go and start looking for those bad monkey pictures or reading about how so and so thinks Bill O’ Rielly is the best thing since chocolate pudding just yet.
Ok, I am back. Mmmm. You know this Gesha stuff is pretty dang good. Perhaps I am just thinking that, because I shelled out almost three times what I normally pay for green coffee to get it. Maybe, I am psychic myself out and thinking that this coffee is the bomb diggity bomb in order to justify my purchase just like those rich idiots who plop down fifty bucks to drink a cup of coffee that originated from some cat’s butt. Perhaps, but then again, I only shelled out 18 bucks for this coffee not 125. Its not like I really need to fool myself into thinking that this coffee is all that and a bar of soap. It is pretty good coffee, I can give it that. It is nice and smooth with subtle floral aftertastes that linger on the palate. Will I be cashing in a CD in order to get myself some of the higher priced lots of the Gesha? NO. But, I will say that this one was probably worth the money I paid for it. I do not think I will be exploring the Gesha craze any further after this batch, for a while anyways. The coffee is just not my cup of tea. But enough about coffee and back to politics…
