my coffee beans and Sebastian Bach

keep quite, don't prattle

ah, how sweet coffee tastes!
lovelier than a thousand kisses
smoother than muscate wine.
Coffee, coffee, I must have it
and should anyone wish to give a treat
ah, just pour me some coffee.


4th arin (soprano) Liesgen


Music: Jonathan Sebastian Bach (1734/35)
Text: Christian Friedrich Henrici, 1732

Can you think how coffee became a popular beverage even in the 1700s that the likes of Sebastian Bach wrote music for a coffee cantata. Like coffee roasting, it is an art to bring out the best of the green beans to roasted beans and into your coffee cup. It takes a trained ear to know that is has produced an excellent music and it takes trained sniffing and tasting tongue to know that an excellent coffee beans would go into the cup.

If whenever coffee beans buyers, roasters, and coffee shops bring excellent coffee into every cup, people who drinks them would be stimulated to think clearly and to be creative.

The eProductivity Conference

Manila. From Nov. 24 thru 29, 2007, I attended the eProductivity Conference with Knowledge Management specialist Eric Mack. It was very informative days for me and I, in fact, was inspired to create this blog because of that conference. Interestingly enough is Mr. Mack's equation of Productivity. It is also a trio, here the formula:

Productivity = Knowledge*Methodology*Technology

That equation is fully loaded...You can visit Eric's blogsite at www.ericmackonline.com

Welcome! Guests and viewers. Coffee has been becoming interesting to me personally, professionally; Coffee has 850 aromatic components in each single bean. That is fascinating work of nature.

You see, the picture above shows how the coffee cherry is developed. The right beans to pick are the two pictures from the right side.

Let me introduce to you that to make a very good coffee beverage, has three factors:


1.) The Green Beans


2.) The Roasting


3.) The Beverage Preparation


Also, the coffee beans comes from three regions, namely:


1.) Latin America


2.) Africa/Arabica


3.) Asia-Pacific


I will stop from here and will like to hear your comments...
