I need to reclaim some space on the wall of my office and decided to transfer my notes about #espressi I tried into my blog to be searchable by their tag for future reference.

My preference is strong #espresso with little to no acid and a good balance of bitterness. I care a lot about the source and try to find beans that are traded in a way that values the work of the people growing the coffee.

Nearly all of the coffee I buy is labeled to be grown ecological and I'd strongly prefer beans grown in the shadow. So far I couldn't identify #shadegrown #coffee easily in Germany.
