Nar jag var i Sverige sist (i Augusti) sa akte jag tillsammans med Carlye och David till Stockholm over 1,5 dag. Saklart spenderade jag ju tid inne pa Lakritsroten (heaven on earth inom lakrits) och kopte med en massa gott. Bl.a sa hade de fatt in kaffe med lakritssmak. Just nar jag var dar sa var aven baristan som salt in detta kaffe till butiken dar. Visade sig att han jobbade pa det foretag som jag jobbade pa innan jag flyttade till New York.
Kaffet har sedan rakat sta dar i skapet sedan dess. Som den barista jag sjalv ar sa gillar jag inte att malt kaffe star for lange. Det forlorar smak och saklart ar det inte lika frascht.
Nu tog jag iaf fram kaffet och har det till min frukost. Precis som baristan jag pratade med i butiken sa, lakritssmaken kommer som en efterklang. Det luktar lakrits i hela lagenheten nu och tyvarr maste jag saga att lukten ar godare an smaken. Kanske ar det pga att kaffet har fatt sta sa lange och darfor forlorat smak, jag vet inte. Lite besviken blev jag nog allt, men det ar anda helt ok kaffe.
Ni som har foljt min sida lange kanske har forstatt att jag ar bade kaffe- och lakritsalskare. Jag gillar bra kvalitet. Det var sjukt intressant att utbilda sig till barista. Aven om det var en kort kurs infor mitt kommande jobb sa gav det mig otroligt mycket. Det hade varit roligt att ga en lakrits-kurs ocksa 🙂
Last time I was in Sweden (in August) I went together with Carlye and David to Stockholm for 1,5 days. Of course, I spent some time at Lakritsroten (heaven on earth within licorice) and bought a lot of nice things. Among others, they had just got a coffee with liquorice flavor. When I was there, the barista that had sold this coffee to the shop was there too. Turned out that he was working at the company that I worked for before I moved to New York.
The coffee has been standing in the cabinet since then. As the barista I am, I don’t like when ground coffee is standing for too long. It loses flavor and of course it isn’t as fresh.
Now, I took the coffee out and I’m having it with my breakfast. Just like the barista I spoke to in the store said, licorice flavor comes as an after-taste. It smells like licorice in our whole apartment now and unfortunately I must say that the smell is nicer than the taste. Maybe it’s because the coffee has been standing for so long and then lost it’s taste, I don’t know. A little disappointed, but it’s perfectly ok coffee anyway.
Those of you who have followed my site a longer time may know that I’m both a coffee- and licoricelover. I like good quality. It was really interesting to study to become a barista. Even if it was a short course before my future job, it gave me incredibly much. It would have been fun to go a licorice-course too 🙂
