I never woulda' thunk it... (coffee)
Yesterday after a roasting session I had some leftover beans. I just kinda forgot about them as there were too few to load another hopper. I left them outside as I went about more pressing matters. Last night it rained. This afternoon I noticed the beans I left out. I cursed myself as these are the Ethiopian Idido Misty's that have become a staple since the last crop of Timor is carrying some bitter overtones that are not suitable to my palate.
Anywho, I decided to spread them out on a tray and dry them once again (there is wet processing so I figured what the hell). As I spread them out I noticed that within 12 or so hours of being soaked by the rain they had begun to sprout. Unfortunately I have too much "farm boy" in my blood to ignore this circumstance. We'll see what happens, coffee is a common ornamental down here even if it doesn't produce. Now if I can just keep that home brewers' "malting" instinct in check..... Best, J.
