I am really obsessed with advanced technique coffee roasting/fermenting/preparation. I guess we all have a vice and nerdy coffee is mine. If I had more time/$$$ I would have tried all their roasts, but one that stood out was a Colombia Canca El Paraiso that was fermented with Aspergillus oryzae, a type of koji mold. The koji mold is cultivated over four days on the dried pulp and husk of the coffee, then added to the coffee cherries for four more days of fermentation. The tasting notes were gin, grapefruit, sansho, peach - to me it really smelled like peach yogurt!

It pains me when people give trash coffee recs - I know that taste is subjective, but a good roast profile that really shows off the flavor of a bean is not. If you are into cigarette-like coffee that’s cool but I’d rather just smoke a dart at that point. I got put onto Portrait, a Black-owned roaster in Atlanta, by my friend and longtime 3sixteen photographer Ray Spears and throughout the summer I’ve been buying bags for me for the homies. I’m not usually one for blends but their Barry is stellar, it’s super bright and fruity and is delicious as a cold brew too. The Uganda Rwenzori slaps too.

I love smelling things in the forest or at the beach. It literally makes me feel high sometimes because it is so pleasurable. I think the sense of smell is supremely underrated and underdeveloped in humans. I really feel like an animal most of the time, so I feel like it’s important to rely on/enjoy my sense of smell like any other form of stimulation/data-collecting. I also have a VERY keen sense of smell.

I love to forage for edible mushrooms, but I also just love learning and identifying as many different species as possible. You begin to recognize certain phenotypes like spore bearing surface, gill attachment, cap morphology, etc and begin to recognize individual species or genera like old friends. They are like magical aliens, except they’re literally on our planet- literally right under our noses.
