One of the great things about visiting Papua New Guinea past the midway point of harvest is that you get to do some very early, preliminary tasting.
On this day, we cupped a dozen or so coffees, and, while most of them were quite good, one of the samples really stood out. It was a day lot from the Tairora project coffees. In a few months, keep your eyes peeled, as you might see our first Papua New Guinea microlot. (And, I believe the very first microlot from the Colbran family coffee projects.) I'm just saying, it might only be 700 lbs, and you might want to make sure you taste it.

Per is such a "super" model...
The theme of this particular vacation was "taking it easy." I didn't push myself to see a lot of Shanghai. Just wanted to hang out with Anton and have a bit of a break from the hectic pace of my life in Osaka. As part of our commitment to this theme, we got massages everyday. On day 2, Anton's massage therapist recommended he have a cupping session. I was curious so I tried it out too. The inside of glass cups are brushed with a flame in order to create a vaccum and then placed directly on the skin. They did a bit of massage first and then placed cups all over our backs. They left these distinctive bruises. Wicked.
