coffeeneuring #41-c (wk 32): went to a "cupping" at Stumptown Coffee Roasters Annex on SE Belmont ... tasted roasts from 5 different plantations.
Flexible silicone cups are used to bring circulation and remodel Myofascial tissue below the skin. Suction can be adjusted to customer preference. Cupping allows for the stretching and opening of muscle tissue, creating a space to drain toxins and releasing stagnated blood (a source of pain). Circular marks may last up to a week and are normal. Cupping is a way to experience deep tissue massage more comfortably and with greater benefit to deeper layers giving you more flexibility and less pain. Also great as a recovery tool for athletes.
Doobie's dad came back this morning so I picked him up at the airport and had him drop me at work on the way home. Screwing up the carpool already. Hopefully Allie and Dan can forgive me.
The cupping this morning should be a fun one as we're running a little more focused (5 coffees instead of 7) and Ryan's agreed to come up from the basement to explain why he chose these coffees in particular for the shop.
The Kaquend seems to be very popular, providing a peak of acidity among the wilds of Brasils that we're serving this week. Tasting almost like a central in profile, this coffee is grown at a higher altitude than the rest of our offerings, leading the question with regards to the effect of altitude/temperature on the maturation of the bean. Lots of complex sweetness with some maple and lime and a lingering honey finish. I almost sounded like Barnett with that one.
This man is working his tail off getting the Habitat Shop open. He flew in at mach 2, cupped, got a call, and in a flash was gone.
Cupping is available at Driven Performance Chiropractic and Recovery. Cupping is a widely performed ancient traditional form of alternative therapy that utilizes special cups to suction a part of the skin as it brings underlying tissue up toward the surface of the skin to help relieve muscle pain.
70 cups of coffee tasted from 7 different lots on their farm. What an amazing cupping session. The only problem is that we started this at 7pm!!
