kirkcudbrightBrought the roasted nuts & coffee over to the parents', but forgot the coffee grinder, so I had youngest brother bring one over. While I was grinding, Mom brought out a pound of Other Stuff for me to grind. There's this Episcopal missionary in Yunnan Province in China, only China doesn't allow purely missionary activity, so he's officially helping the locals establish a coffee export business, so the parents bought a pound of coffee to support the effort.
Yunnan grows a lot of tea, but I've never heard of cofee from Yunnan, or any other part of China for that matter. So start with a questionable origin. Plus it was either processed haphazardly, or roasted haphazardly, or both, because it was a mix of charred beans and yellowish beans (either under-ripe or under-roasted). Plus they'd had this coffee since last Christmas, and hadn't bothered to get anyone to grind it for them.
All in all, I can't imagine this is going to make anything other than a nasty cup of coffee. I should have just thrown it out for them, but I soiled my brother's grinder with it, and washed my hands of it (literally).
