We were at RAW (Real and Wholesome) again. But this time we were covering about the roasting session. Though we had served numerous cups of coffee during our coffee appreciation workshop, most of our readers and customers have no idea how the coffee beans are roasted. So, since most of you guys haven't witness the process of roasting, we have made a video featuring Susan, the roaster of RAW cafe, roasting a batch of Sumatra Mandheling, right in the cafe itself.

A special thanks to Susan for walking me through the whole roasting process
Mandheling espresso
Besides the roasting session, we had also sampled a cup of single origin (Mandheling) espresso expertly brewed by RAW's barista with the state of the art Kees Van der Westen Mirage lever machine. The espresso had a chocolatey and syrupy aftertaste, awesome!
Red Espresso
After enjoying our organic mixed salad, we also sampled a cup of red espresso, made of rooibos tea (caffeine free and antioxidant rich!), brewed the same way as ordinary espresso. It tasted earthy and sweet at the same time, with a hint of slight citrusy). What astonished us was the thick layer of crema like substance on the surface of the red espresso!
This trip was truly meaningful, and we hope our readers would love it the same way we did!
