Here's part two of my visit to the CEL. And yes, I sing on this video, inspired by coffee. If you can't understand my hyper-excited babbling at the end, I'm saying, "Thanks Intelligentsia... Thanks Geoff Watts... Thanks Kenyan Coffee Producers!"
This is my coffee of the week, incidentally. Hands down.
Part one of my visit to the CEL here.
If you don't know what the heck I was singing about during the making of the Chemex, Stephen Morrissey's cool Chemex video here.
Not the same Gichathaini Kenya, but another fresh Kenya from Intelligentsia here.
Scott Rao's book here.
Don't forget to drink lots of coffee before you go out tonight, and Happy New Year everybody!
Did you get to try Intelligentsia's Kenya Thiriku? Talk about a wild coffee, Very meaty/savory, blackcurrant, mango/pineapple. Ridiculously versatile as well.
Haven't had beans of that Gichathaini, but had a clover of it at Intelligentsia back in October, was a very interesting coffee but don't remember much.

you're fantastic dude!
love these videos!
I love it that you have so much to say. most of it of interest ;-)
but around this Sarah woman - you become chattery & up-beat like a nervous school boy! I guess that happens to most of us when we have great coffee around a really stunning woman!
;-)
keep up the good work!

Chattery and upbeat, my friend ... never nervous.
And thanks for the kind words.
