Aged Sumatra
Since a few days Starbucks has a new coffee on display: Aged Sumatra. Every now and then they have packages of special coffee beans for sale, and I was really curious about this one.
The beans of this coffee have been aged five years, which gives a taste. It is supposed to have been discovered when the Dutch V.O.C. ships transported coffee beans from Indonesia to Europe, which took many months.
I asked if there was a way to try the coffee, without having to buy a package, and when I came in in the afternoon when it wasn't very busy they custom made me a cup of coffee from these beans. They used a French press for it (which I believe is known in Holland as a Turkish' coffee machine).
I liked to coffee a lot, it has a very special taste: a more mellow and smoother flavor than regular Sumatra, and far less acidity. It was nice, but I don't think I'll get a package of this for at home. I prefer the regular blend in the mornings.

Have you tried that new extreme chocolate drink they have? Ask for a sample of that!! It's amazing!

Kun je niet een kopje overjarige koffie naar me toe mailen? Ik ben ook wel nieuwsgierig.

Ik moest direct aan jou denken toen ik die koffie voor het eerst zag.
Ik weet dat jij
a) gek op koffie bent maar
b) een enorme hekel aan oude koffie hebt :)
