It started with plain curiosity. A friend handed me a box of coffee and said try it, and I never imagined it would become part of my morning.
What surprised me was that I kept it up. I had tried plenty of things before that did not last a fortnight. This one stayed.
It turned into a routine: a cup before the house wakes up, and fifteen minutes to myself before the day starts. The quiet is the part I would miss most.
The quiet before the house wakes up.
Then my friends started noticing, and asking. What is it? What does it taste like? Where do you get it? So I explained, over and over, on WhatsApp.
That is where this page came from. One place to write down what I know, instead of repeating it in every conversation.
I am not going to tell you what any of this will do for you. Only that it became part of my day, and that I still enjoy it after all this time.
