Coffee Appreciation at Cafe Jasmin Cebu

"Everything gets better with coffee"

 "You have to slurp the coffee", that was the advice given to us by John from Cafe Jasmin. He was giving us a preview of the Coffee Appreciation class that they conduct for coffee enthusiasts.

 i was slurping so much that I almost choked on my second taste cup. 

 This is the first time I've experienced a Coffee workshop and I was game for anything. As long as it entails something edible. 

 Frankly, I'm not really a coffee-lover. I do enjoy a cup of Java, once in awhile, but I don't really crave for it. I know the difference between a Cappuccino from a Latte but other than that, my coffee knowledge wouldn't fill a mug.

 With the onset of the specialty coffee shops, consumers have been given a difficult task of making decisions about what to order. Decaf, with foam, without whipped, double espresso, hot or cold--- sometimes, it's a nail-biting experience just to place a coffee order.

Cafe Jasmin's mission is to educate coffee drinkers the basics of what they are drinking. Arabica is more superior than Robusta beans. Ethiopian beans are smoother in taste, has a more fruity aroma and richer in flavor. Robusta is easier to blend with other beans and it's preferred to be used for espresso drinks because of its full-bodied taste and better foam head.

Know your coffee

 These facts are kinda mind-boggling for someone who puts cream and sugar in her coffee. But I actually wanted to learn more about coffee and I'm thinking that one of these days, I'll sign-up for the full Coffee Appreciation workshop.

 Cafe Jasmin has a cozy and comfortable ambiance. The second floor holds a lot of treats for book and music lovers. They have books that you borrow while you're there. And they're the only cafe that I know of that has an electronic keyboard that you can play music with.


Be Happy with coffee

 What's unique about Cafe Jasmin is that they roast their own beans. Plus, they also offer this service to other cafes and coffee shops in the city. And according to Randy, Cafe Jasmin's Operations Manager, they also blend what they use for their coffee menu. 

 After going through that short lesson on coffee, I have more enjoyment with my caffeine fix. But I don't think I'll be slurping my cup of joe when there are other people around.

 Cafe Jasmin also offers some savory meals to go with your coffee. They have sandwiches, creamy chicken carbonara, and baked lasagna. And they also have a good variety of tea options.

 But what struck me the most was their blueberry cheesecake and triple chocolate brownie. Literally, those desserts took my socks off. They were that delicious! The cheesecake was not baked which should be the case for cheesecakes. And make sure that they warm the brownie up before they serve it to you, that's what makes it gooey, chewy and soft.

18 'Beki' Words to Add to Your Vocabulary

Gambar
The Philippines is truly a diverse country. Aside from having thousands of islands, fifty different ways to cook adobo, we also have hundreds of languages and dialects. Filipinos are also innovative. One of the popular lingo or slang that came about during the 20th Century is known as Swardspeak or Beki. The Philippine Gay lingo is built upon words, expressions, and existing languages (local and foreign). It's full of allusion to popular culture, celebrities, places, and even events. Bekispeak is unique and shows Filipino ingenuity and adaptability to culture.  In honor of Pride Month, one LGBT Advocate came up with a compilation of Beki words to help those who would like to learn the lingo.  I'd like to thank my brother, Angelo, for coming up with this helpful collection. I've always wanted to learn a new language.  Let the Beksionary be your guide. Here are 18 Beki words to add to your growing vocabulary.  1. Chanda Romero = Tiyan 2.

21 Writers and Poets Who Died Tragically

The tortured genius. The starving artist. The antisocial behavior. The free spirit. The wandering soul. The lost generation. When we hear or read these descriptions, who comes to mind? Our answers will all be the same --- the writer, the poet, the author. Literary artists who live by the power of their words; the might of their pen. But I'm not here to talk about the quirks of their behavior or the majesty of their talent rather the tragedy that befell these masters of the written word that silenced their emotions and souls. One of my favorite quotes from the campy movie, The Mummy, "Death is just a beginning" kept coming to mind when I was researching for this blog topic. Death did not diminish the popularity of these artists but rather enhanced it; out of curiosity, created new audiences to their writings.  Suicide, Accidents, Depression, Alcoholism, Debilitating illness, these seem to be great plot ideas for a novel. But the reality is stranger than fiction; the lives ...

Colon Street's Forgotten Heritage Markers

Gambar
C olon Street in Cebu City has the distinction of being known as the oldest street in the Philippines. Throughout its more than 400 years of existence, Colon has been the center of trade, fame, prominence and even notoriety. Colon Street Heritage Marker 2001 Named after the famed Genovese navigator and explorer, Cristobal Colon or Christopher Columbus, Colon street appeals to tourists and locals alike. Bargain shopping and deals abound the various establishments that surround the street. Its historical and commercial value cannot be surpassed. Similar to going to Quiapo or Divisoria or Recto, one has to be on high alert and aware of everything that's going on around you. It doesn't help that the years of neglect and the "I don't care" attitude added to the atmosphere of grittiness and griminess that exudes from Colon. Last Friday, I was doing research for an article I was planning to write about Colon when I came across a couple of posts pertaining to Heritage Ma...
