A bit late weekly post from me. Yesterday was the baptism of my little son. Anyway I was enjoying a pretty nice coffee during the week.

Firstly, I have to say sorry to @millycf1976 for perplexing her with my mistimed posts. Today is Sunday which is already a day after my typical post. I feel a bit guilty now, but hope that by the end of the post I will make myself free of guilt. 😂

So, yesterday we travelled to a very beautiful monastery, where was the baptism of my younger son. Now he is a Christian and we are really happy that we chose this exact monastery for doing this act. This is the Bachkovo Monastery, which is the second largest one in Bulgaria. And I have to say that this place is very beautiful and well cared for.

We even had the pleasure to walk and have some coffee in some inner rooms, which are not available for everyone. And although the coffee that we were served there was not that good, the whole place was so unreal, that make our experience brilliant.

The church that the baptism was held in also was not the church that these acts are typically held. There is another, smaller church in the yard of the monastery, where the kids are getting baptized. But again, we had the opportunity of knowing the head monk(I don’t know how the term for him is in English) of this monastery and our little kid was baptized in the bigger and more beautiful church.

But now it really is time for some specialty coffee. And it is a coffee that I order for the first time. It’s called Java Marysabel & Moises. Do you know your coffee’s farmers? This is the beauty of the specialty coffee. Or really one of its beauties. You know the exact origin of the coffee beans, both farm and farmers. And on the website of Dabov specialty coffee there is a dedicated page for the farmers.

And now there are two or three different coffees available from this exact farm. If you want to learn more for the farm of Marysabel and Moises in Honduras, you can visit the following link.

I’m not gonna get into much detail about the life and work in the farm, I’d rather share my thoughts about the product itself. In some recent posts I have shown you the Honduras Caballero coffee, which is one of the most budget coffees available in the Dabov shop. It still offers quite fruitful and fresh taste. This one, on the other hand, is maybe the most expensive product from Marysabel and Moises’s farm. It comes at about 18$ for 200g of coffee. It’s also the coffee of July which means it’s 15% cheaper during this month. Now that’s something to feel sorry about… or maybe an opportunity to buy one of these again? We’ll see soon. 😁

I ordered a V60 grind size because I don’t think I can get the most of the coffee beans with my amateur espresso machine. One trick that I learned for the initial water mixing phase is to make a little hole in the center. The water then easily infuses in the ground beans so the process is getting easier.

Now, the coffee itself. Vanilla, nougat and creme brûlée. How does this sound to you? I may prefer more fruity tastes, but this really seems like a beautiful combo too. I have to say that the first time I tried the coffee was not that happy with the taste, but it somehow built up on me and now I find this coffee really pleasant and balanced. I think that it’s gonna be better tasting on the espresso machine, but after some time I like it a lot on the V60 too.

And yes, I think there’s a huge probability to order it again this month for being 15% cheaper. And my coffees are almost over so I’ll order new coffees in a matter of days.

Wish you a really happy weekend, or at least what’s remaining. Have a cup of nice coffee and stay positive!
