Lots of tea and coffee experiences this week. Nice!
The castellas look interesting. It would be fun to watch them being made.

😃Hi @leaky20. Yes, some interesting tea and coffee experiences that week. Coffee as compost was interesting to me. I thought about all the coffee waste from the many coffee shops around and how it/they may be re-used. I wouldn’t need/use much for my small balcony garden but thinking it could be of great use to some farmers.
The castellas! You’re right! It was fascinating to see them make them. As a matter of fact, I was so captivated by the process that I was tapped to make my order. Lol!! Great skills and showmanship . The vendor maybe flipped out all the castellas under a minute and in a particular rhythm. Really fast and cool! I apologized for the delay with my order. I had forgotten my manners 😂😆🙇🏽♀️
I've heard of some cafés in my area giving the used grounds away for other uses as well. It's a smart idea. I've heard of coffee flour as well for baking - though that is using the outer coffee cherry rinds not the beans. Still, any method of reusing or recycling waste is welcome this day and age.
Funny about watching the castellas. I'd probably do the same
Great that used grounds can be used in several ways. It’s my first time hearing about coffee flour. Though from the cherry rinds, I wonder if it has a particular or distinct flavor.
😃I’m now into Castella-watching. Lol
