Welcome to the Coffee Sprudgecast. It's not just a coffee podcast, it's a taste experience, where only the strongest endure. Zachary Carlsen returns from World of Coffee Jakarta on the Coffee Sprudgecast and brings with him delicious coffees, interesting coffees, and coffees he didn't dare dream existed. This includes a Space Roastery coffee that mimics the process of Kopi Luwak (the poop coffee) without using animals. It's a fair and cruelty free Kopi Luwak! No civets were harmed in the making of this coffee. We also try a Vietnam-grown gesha coffee roasted by our reporter Tung Nguyen over at his project Citric Meets Malic. We love it. This episode of the Coffee Sprudgecast is sponsored by TerraCycle, Ceado, Pacific Barista Series, La Marzocco, Ghirardelli, and DONA.

#MenschMahler - Die Podcast Kolumne - podcast eins GmbH

‚Das Beste kommt zum Schluss‘ heißt ein heiter-nachdenklicher Film mit Morgan Freeman und Jack Nicholson von 2007. Zwei ältere unheilbare kranke Männer erfüllen sich noch alle Wünsche, die sie im Leben hatten. Geld spielt keine Rolle, da einer von ihnen Millionär ist und so lässt er sich auch im Krankenhaus den allerteuersten Kaffee zubereiten: Kopi Luwak und spätestens durch diesen Film erfuhren wir, dass die Kaffeebohnen von Schleichkatzen verdaut wurden. Originell klang das damals, halb eklig, halb witzig und irgendwie natürlich. Die Schleichkatzen fressen die reifen roten Kaffeefrüchte, verdauen aber nur das Fruchtfleisch, die Bohnen scheiden sie aus. Die sind dann fermentiert und zu Kaffee verarbeitet bekömmlicher und ein besonderer Genuss. Irgendwer muss das mal entdeckt haben. Irre teuer ist der Kopi Luwak mit bis zu 1000 € pro Kilo. Doch Wohlhabende greifen mächtig zu und so ist längst ein Riesengeschäft mit dem Edel-Kaffee entstanden. Auf Kosten der Schleichkatzen auch Musangs genannt. Die eigentlich nachtaktiven Tiere sammeln nicht mehr nur zufällig ein paar Kaffeekirschen in der freien Natur, sondern werden in viel zu kleine Käfige gesperrt, sind hellem Tageslicht ausgesetzt und bekommen eben fast nur noch Kaffeekirschen zu fressen. Insbesondere in Indonesien, z.B. auf Bali oder Sumatra, verdienen mittlerweile viele Menschen Geld mit dem Kot der Schleichkatzen. Für die wildlebenden Tiere sei das die Hölle, sagt Peta Asien, die mehrere Recherchen dazu gemacht haben. Auch die Tier- und Naturschutzorganisation Pro Wildlife nennt die Werbung, freilaufende Schleichkatzen würden die besten Früchte selbst im Wald aufsammeln, ‚einen Riesenschwindel‘. Vielleicht gibt es Kopi Luwak auch in tierfreundlich und ursprünglich, aber ganz ehrlich: brauchen wir das? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Kopi Luwak, coffee lovers, this one is for you. I am not going to go into the whole process but the washing and roasting of poop-covered coffee beans come at a price. Wait, that is the process. There, now you know the process, poops, I mean oops. I tasted 13 different coffees and teas this morning. So you will have to excuse the caffeine-driven blog of mine. If you like coffee, and who doesn't? I mean seriously, how do you get going without that lovely aroma and taste first thing in the morning? Alright, it's not the be-all and end-all, but if you are into coffee, then come with me on this tasting trip. Entering the location is a maze of local plants. From vanilla, cocoa, coffee, bananas, mango, saffron, mangosteen, avocado, roselle, ginger, rice, lemongrass, coconut, and ginseng. A complete variety of teas and coffees are available here and the best part is, it is free! Wait did I say it is free? Yes, all the tasters you see in the photo are free. They would be larger than a shot glass and I would have been fine having all the tasters but I felt bad, to be honest. I ordered a vanilla coffee because it is as close as I can get to a latte. Sacrilege, I know but such is life. Authentic. Authentic Bali teas and coffees are made on-site at Satria Agrowisata. Located in a lush jungle setting with winding walkways for at least 70 meters lead us to a 30-meter-long grass roof shelter. Under the shelter are connected tables just as long. This plantation remains best known for offering kopi luwak or civet coffee, produced with beans previously eaten, partially digested, and then excreted by the Asian palm civet, a small tree-climbing animal. Because of its undeniably unappealing production method, Kopi Luwak remains among the most expensive coffees on the planet. If you choose to take a guided walk around the jungle plantation there are plenty of guides on hand. Kopi Luwak By definition: https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_luwak The origin of civet coffee is motivated by the history of coffee cultivation in Indonesia. In the early 18th century, the Dutch established commercial plantations in their colonies in the Dutch East Indies, especially on the islands of Java and Sumatra. One of them is Arabica coffee plantations with seeds imported from Yemen. In the era of "Forced Cultivation" or Cultuurstelsel(1830-1870), the Dutch forbade indigenous plantation workers from picking coffee cherries for personal consumption, but the locals wanted to try the famous coffee drink. Then the plantation workers finally found that there was a kind of weasel who liked to eat coffee cherries, but only the flesh of the fruit was digested, the epidermis and coffee beans were still intact and undigested. The coffee beans in the civet droppings are then picked up, washed, roasted, ground, then brewed with hot water, creating civet coffee. [2] The news about the enjoyment of this aromatic coffee finally caught the attention of the Dutch plantation owners, and then this coffee became the favorite of the rich Dutch people. Due to its rarity and unusual manufacturing process, Kopi Luwak has also been an expensive coffee since colonial times. Kopi Luwak in reality. I have had it on more than one occasion. I have tasted it on its own and with my usual milk and sugar added. All I can personally say is that it seems creamier and smoother than regular coffee. However, my sense of taste may be off as much as my musical skills are non-existent. I can't tell the difference between a $5 or a $1000 bottle of wine. Don't take my word for it. Hop on a plane and visit Indonesia yourself. Or go buy some online and make it yourself if you wish. The point is that there must be something to it. There must be something to the real and authentic, non-watered down Kopi Luwak. Please check out all the teas and coffees as this is a pretty cool place for coffee and nature lovers alike. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/zsolt-zsemba/message

Zechariah 8:18-23 - From Feasting to Fasting (Rev. Erik Veerman)

From Feasting to FastingA quick word of thank you to Charles for stepping in last week to preach. And thank you for your prayers. I'm doing much better.This morning, we'll be wrapping up chapter 8 of Zechariah. You'll find that on page 947 in the church Bibles. These verses conclude the section that began in chapter 7. The question had been asked, “do we still need to fast?” As a reminder, a fast is when you abstain from food for a period of time, so you can focus on God and prayer. Well, God's answer to their question was not a simple yes or no. That's because true religion is not a list of rules to follow to make yourself good with God… no, rather true religion begins with your heart, a Biblical understanding of heart, which then works its way out in your life. At the end of chapter 7, God explained that the previous generation didn't have a heart for him, even though they thought they were religious. And at the beginning of Chapter 8, God revealed that despite their empty religious practices, his covenant promises were still there. Remember, he revealed to them the beautiful city of the new Jerusalem. God promised that his people would experience the rebuilt city. Ultimately that was a picture of heaven. The message was: don't just go through the ritual motions, but rather pursue the things of God with hearts that know him and believe in his future promises.So, we get to these last verses of chapter 8, and God does a full circle back to their original question about fasting.So now, let's now turn our attention to God's word. Zechariah 8:18-23STAND Hear now these words, the inspired word of God.Reading of Zechariah 8:18-23Between 2006 and 2007, a 5-star hotel in Thailand hosted a series of extravagant dinners. It was described as "epic extravagance" In fact, the gourmet dinners were titled “Epicurean Masters of the World.” Epicurean meaning luxurious indulgence.For one of the dinners, fine foods were flown in from 35 different countries. The 10-course meal was prepared by six world-renown chefs. It included:• Crème brulee of foie gras• Imperial beluga caviar• Veal cheeks with truffles• Belons oysters, Brittany lobster and Bresse chickenEach course perfectly paired with the finest of wines from around the worldThe price tag? In today's dollars, a mere $35,000 per person.Maybe that's not your type of cuisine. Instead, imagine your favorites. Kids, endless fruit loops, perfectly cooked pizza with cheesy crust. Or for you steak lovers, bone-in filet mignon. In the Scriptures, God promises his people the most extravagant banquet in heaven. It will be a spiritual feast in eternity. And God promises that he will celebrate this amazing banquet with his people. The Scriptures call it the marriage supper of the lamb, as. Or sometimes we refer to it as the great wedding feast with Christ – the lamb of God.When our Lord returns on the clouds of heaven, we will celebrate this feast with him. It will be a wedding reception of sorts. Christ will be the bridegroom and his church will be the bride. It will involve a great celebration - joy and gladness. And the banquet will be full of people from every tribe and tongue and nation. And the best part… it won't cost a single penny. No, the wedding feast will be free. It will be open to all who believe by faith in Christ Alone. The entrance fee will be paid by Christ himself who will welcome and receive all who trust in him alone. But even here and now, on earth, we have a foretaste of that future banquet. Our gathered worship this morning is a taste of heven. We're worshiping God together, communing with him, being spiritually fed, and responding with joy and gladness in anticipation of the marriage supper of the Lamb.Well, the end of Zechariah 8 alludes to a future spiritual meal. It speaks of a time when their fasting would become feasting… when people from all nations would come to celebrate. For the people in Zechariah's time, it was a future promise of feasting. But for us today, that time has arrived. It's both a now and a not yet promise. We are celebrating now because Jesus has come. We are, in a sense, engaged to him. Jesus has promised marriage. We are the betrothed. And because of that, we can look forward to the future marriage supper of the lamb with all of God's people feasting together. That's what these verses point us to. And they answer two questions for us.1. How do you become a participant in the wedding feast, now and in the future?2. How do you prepare for the future wedding feast?So, how do you become a participant in the feasting and how do you prepare for the future feast? I want you to keep those question in mind. We'll come back to them latee. Let's begin, though, with their situation, Zechariah's audience, and what these promises meant for them. Doing so will give us a better understanding of the feast, and how to answers the questions.The first thing to note is all the fasts that God mentioned to them. In verse 19, he mentions fasts on the fourth month, the fifth, the seventh and tenth. That's a lot of abstaining from food. What's interesting is to go back to the beginning of chapter 7. Just flip back one page. Chapter 7 verse 3. The original question was this: “Should I weep and abstain in the fifth month?” But what we find out as these two chapters progress is that they weren't just fasting on the fifth month, no, actually, they fasted 4 months out of the year.And all of these fasts were connected to the exile 70 years earlier.• The fourth month fast was a remembrance of when the walls of Jerusalem were breached and their king was captured.• The fifth month fast pointed back to when Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian King, took control of the city.• The seventh month fast was when the Judean governor was killed. After that point there would be no more Judean ruler.• And finally, the tenth month fast pointed back to when it all began. The initial siege of JerusalemYou see, they were all weighty things. And all of it connected to the downfall of Judah and Jerusalem. And not only that, the very reason that it all happened was God himself. God used the Babylonians to punish Israel for their covenant disobedience. So for four months out of the year, the exiles fasted during the day, in a sense grieving what had happened. The fasts pointed to death and destruction and subjugation… and this went on for 70 years. Imagine being born in that time. Much of your life would have been under this gloomy cloud of sadness and lamenting.That's a lot of discouragement and despair. And remember back in chapter 7, God pointed out that their fasting had become selfish – they were self-focused and not God focused. Their fasting had become a pity party for what had happened to them. Kind of like Winnie the Pooh's friend, Eeyore. Always gloomy despair. It's easy to be an Eeyore, isn't it.With all that as the backdrop, imagine how they would receive the end of verse 19. All those fasts, house of Judah, “shall be… seasons of joy and gladness and cheerful feasts!” It's kind of like it had been raining for 70 years straight, with dark, ominous clouds, but God promised that the sun would come out! It's a promise not just that the lamenting would end. But that it would be replaced with celebration. The verb tense here is important. The fasts “shall be” feasts. It was a future promise for them of not just an end to their sadness, but to the start of joy.And this is where these verses connect with the rest of chapter 8.Everything that they were lamenting in the fasts would be undone.1) First, the overthrow of the nation would be reversed. God promised to return to rule and reign. He would be king again and bring peace2) Second, the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple would be reversed. The temple would be re-built and the city restored. Ultimately, as we considered, this would be realized in the new Jerusalem in heaven.3) And third, the exile itelf would be reversed. In the exile, the people were scattered - many became captives in Babylon. But now God promised that he would restore the people. He would bring them home. And in fact, he would add to their numbers, people from all over. That promise of people is what the final verses cover, we'll get to that in a minute.So, to recap, all the doom and gloom in the fasts will turn into joy and celebration in feasts. That's because God would bring about a restored presence, a restored city, and a restored people.I was thinking about an interaction between Sam Gamgee and Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings. By the way, this will be my once-a-year Lord of the Rings reference. After the ring of power had been destroyed and after the great battle was over. Sam found himself safe – he was alive. He'd been rescued. Good had won over evil. And when Sam awoke, there was Gandalf at his bedside.“Gandalf! I thought you were dead! But then I thought I was dead myself. Is everything sad going to come untrue? What's happened to the world?"“A great Shadow has departed," said Gandalf, and then he laughed and the sound was like music, or like water in a parched land; and as Sam listened the thought came to him that he had not heard laughter, the pure sound of merriment, for days upon days without count.Will everything sad become untrue? No. But sadness will become untrue. The mournful fasts will turn to joyful feasts. And they will be more joyful and more cheerful not despite the lamenting fasts and what they represented, but in a mysterious way, because of them.A big part of this promise is the promise of a restored people. The feasts will be a great celebration, partly because of all the people that will be present.Verses 20-23 give us a picture of people pouring in to Jerusalem. • They are coming from “many cities” it says in verse 20. And we get this image of people grabbing other people by the hand. “Come join us… We're headed to Jerusalem… you don't want to miss out!”• They were going out of their way to other cities to tell other people about the feast. Word has gotten out. • And it's not just the cities of Judah, from which people would be coming. No, it mentions “strong nations” verse 22. • And in verse 23 the image is of 10 men holding on to the robe of Jew, seeking to come with him to Jerusalem. People from the nations that were enemies desired to join this pilgrimage to the feast in Jerusalem.I like the imagery one commentator used to describe it… a magnet. Jerusalem was drawing people from all over - north, south, east, and west. “…from every tongue,” verse 23. They were all being compelled. It's as if you were on top of mount Zion next to Jerusalem - every direction you looked, you saw people making their way to the city… to the banquet.This restored people was alluded to earlier in the chapter. Go up to verse 7, “thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country, and I will bring them to dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in faithfulness and in righteousness.” From all over, they would come.This may remind you of Zechariah's third vision. Jerusalem's walls were no longer made of stone and brick, rather her walls were walls of fire. A wall that could expand and could encompass all the people that were being drawn to her.This is part of the encouragement God was giving them. Through his Covenant faithfulness, God would not only restore a remnant of his people, but God would multiply their numbers.What a feast! A restored city. The presence of God overseeing its peace and prosperity – myriads and myriads of people from all over. From far off lands and from enemy nations, all drawn to the city and all celebrating with joy and gladness.They asked, “Should we continue to fast?” God answered by redirecting them to the amazing feast that would come in his restored city and with his renewed people.Let me remind you that Zechariah was prophesying 500 years before Christ. Much of the promises of these two chapters, 7 and 8, have been fulfilled in Christ. • A couple of weeks ago, we considered Jesus as the perfect covenant keeper. He was the one who turned the covenant curses into covenant blessings. That's because through the ministry of Christ on the cross, God fulfilled our covenant responsibilities, which we could not do. That was the beginning of chapter 8. • But these concluding verses of chapter 8 are also fulfilled in Christ. All of the fasts will be turned to feasts because in Christ, he is building his church and restoring his people.What I'm saying is that Zechariah 8 is being fulfilled now. People are coming to God, through Jesus, from every nation, streaming into spiritual Jerusalem – the church. Chapter 8 is a Gospel promise – the hope of Christ for salvation for all who believe.You know, sometimes we think that the Old Testament was just about the Jewish people and the nation of Israel. And we think that the promise of the Gospel for all people, all nations, all languages is only a New Testament thing. But really it was God's plan from the very beginning. • It's all throughout the Psalms. • The other prophets revealed that God's promise was for the nations. • And here in Zechariah 8, it's plain as day. The promise that “10 men from the nations from every tongue shall take hold of the robe of a Jew” is speaking about the promise to the world. You see, God revealed himself through Abraham and his family and through Israel. Jesus was born to fulfill the Jewish promise of a messiah. And so, in that way, it is through Israel that the nations have been blessed.And beloved, that's us. I know we have a couple people here with Jewish heritage. But for the rest of us, we are the fulfillment of these last few verses in Zechariah 8. People have sought us out. They've invited us to come to Jerusalem and celebrate and feast. We were the ones holding on to the robe of a Jew, saying, “let us go with you… for God is with you.” Remember, this is not a promise of physical Jerusalem. No the promise here is both a spiritual Jerusalem, all of God's people, and an eternal Jerusalem, the new Jerusalem in heaven.So in these verses, there's both a near term and a long term fulfillment of the feasting. • The ultimate fulfillment is the marriage supper of the Lamb. That's the consummate banquet in heaven, when Christ returns.• But we are also living now in the partial fulfillment of these verses… God is gathering people to his church, now. We are feasting now with joy and gladness, but it's just a foretaste of the marriage supper of the lamb.So….• First, God promised that their mournful fasting would turn to joyful feasting. • Second, God promised that people would come from all nations to join the celebration. • And third, these promises have been and will be fulfilled in Christ.But let's come back around to the two questions… because they are the questions for us.First, how do you participate in the feasting, both now and in heaven?And, second, how do you prepare for that great wedding feast?On first question, this offer is open to all. All are invited to spiritually feast. In verses 21 and 22, the people were coming from all over. They said, “let us go at once to entreat the favor of the Lord and to seek the Lord of hosts.” Entreating him and seeking him. In fact, those phrases are repeated twice – the second time in verse 22. There it starts with “seeking the Lord” and then “entreating him.” Seeking him is searching the Lord out. Going to him. And entreating his favor means asking him. Requesting that he receive you. That word “favor” in the original Hebrew parallels word for “grace” in the Greek. In other words, Jesus invites you to come to him and receive his invitation, his grace. The table of feasting is open to all who come to him by faith. And in the context of Zechariah as a whole and chapter 7 and 8 in particular… that includes turning from your hollow religion and rejection of God and committing your life to himAnd I want to highlight a little phrases in verse 21. “let us go at once” There's no waiting. The invitation is now. You don't know what tomorrow will bring. If you haven't sought the Lord, turned your life to him. Seek him and his favor, his grace, now is the time. Jesus invites you to come.The second question for us is this: how do you prepare for the feasting? In other words, if you are the Lord's, he's promised you that great feast. Besides enjoying the foretaste of that great feast in our worship with joy, what else should we be doing to prepare?Well, the answer to that question is at the end of verse 19. Look at it. The last sentence of the verse. “Therefore love truth and peace.” When I first read that, it seemed out of place. I was asking myself, “how does that relate to the feasting?” Then I realized, this is what ties chapters 7 and 8 together. It's the answer to the fasting question. God was calling them to love. Not a “feelings” kind of love that our culture is obsessed with. No, this love is the covenantal kind of love that God has for us - a deep down commitment to truth and to peace. It connects it all together because this love of God and his truth and his peace is what we need to be seeking. It's the summary of the new Jerusalem that we talked about two weeks ago – a city founded on God's truth and in his peace. • Their prior generation did not love truth and peace – that's why their religion was hollow and hypocritical and why God exiled them. • God was calling them to love truth and peace, because that's the test of true religion. And when we love God's truth and his peace lived out in the church – that's when our feasting will be the greatest. In other words, the more the church looks like the eternal Jerusalem, the greater the foretaste of the marriage supper of the Lamb. Love truth and peace.• White truffles• Kumamoto Oysters• Chateau Briand• Kopi Luwak coffee• Turkish delightThose may all sound delicious, but they will be nothing compared to the feast in heaven… with the joy, gladness, cheerfulness, truth, and peace that will accompany it. May we rejoice now and pursue that truth and peace as we await that day. Amen.

Eén van mijn meest grappige zakenmeetings uit mijn leven was met een zogenaamde businesstycoon uit Engeland. Tijdens de voorbereiding ontstond een discussie. Moeten we deze miljardair tonen dat we een gouden ei in ons handen hebben of moeten we laten zien dat we een kip hebben gemaakt waar gouden eieren geproduceerd worden. De kip-protagonisten hadden argumenten als: ‘Een idee is niets, het gaat om de uitvoering. Einstein zei al: ‘Genie is één procent inspiratie en negenennegentig procent transpiratie.' De mannen van het ei zeiden: ‘Zo'n man gelooft wel dat je iets kunt organiseren, organiseren is slechts uitvoering, kun je inhuren, zonder briljant idee valt er geen kippenfabriek te bouwen.' We betraden een immens grote kamer in het centrum van Londen begeleid door drie dames met tè korte jurkjes. Ze schonken Kopi Luwak koffie, er stond Minus 181 water op tafel. Ik herkende een Rothko aan de muur. Vervolgens moesten we lang wachten op het alfamannetje met een dikke buik. We presenteerden de kip. Dat bleek al snel een foute keuze te zijn. Na een paar slides begon hij zijn stem te verheffen: ‘Where's the fucking money.' Steeds luider: ‘Show me the fucking money.' Hij had een goud ei willen zien. We investeren de komende jaren 35 miljard in een klimaat- en transitiefonds en 1 miljard voor het versterken van de onderwijskwaliteit. 1,25 miljard maken we vrij voor achterstanden voor onze infrastructuur. 7,5 miljard komt er beschikbaar voor een goede ontsluiting van nieuwe woningen en ook voegen we 7,5 miljard euro toe aan het Mobiliteitsfonds. En dan heb ik nog tientallen miljarden en honderden miljoenen aan gouden eieren uit het coalitieakkoord overgeslagen. De coalitie liet geld zien; we hebben een kip nodig. Neem de investering ‘in een brede meerjarige cybersecurity aanpak en cyberexpertise bij de politie, rechtspraak, het Openbaar Ministerie (OM) en defensie.' Een terecht en urgent voornemen. Denk aan het gisteren verschenen rapport van de Onderzoeksraad voor Veiligheid over het beveiligingslek bij softwarefabrikant Citrix, eind 2019. Conclusie: hackers hebben nog altijd ‘illegale toegang tot systemen en data die zij op elk moment kunnen activeren met disruptieve effecten op bedrijfsprocessen, dienstverlening, privacy en veiligheid.' Je kunt geld uitgeven aan de bestrijding. Moeilijker blijft het of de politie, de rechtspraak, OM of defensie een cultuur kunnen bouwen die verwondering, onverschrokkenheid, bezetenheid en onbezonnenheid omarmt. Minimale eigenschappen die je nodig hebt om de hacker te lijf te gaan. Ook eigenschappen die je niet zomaar bij elkaar koopt. Ik checkte overigens deze week het vermogen van de dikke Engelse businesstycoon. Zijn vermogen is onder het miljard gedaald. De loser.

OM SUASTIASTU FROM BALI Before I tell you about drinking the world's most expensive coffee made from beans that have passed through a cat and pooped out, let's kick off this week's episode with an Balinese language lesson. THE RADIO VAGABOND LANGUAGE SCHOOL: BALINESE I always try to learn a few words and phrases when I visit a new place. For today's The Radio Vagabond language school lesson, we'll learn essential Balinese phrases: Hello: Om suastiastu  Good morning: Rahajeng semeng My name is Palle: Wastan tiang Palle Thank you: Suksuma I'M IN BALI, BABY Bali is an island province in Indonesia, so obviously, they speak Indonesian, but they also have their own language – Balinese. Despite practising the basics above, I still managed to mess up suksuma (thank you) when I met Putu, our local guide. Luckily for me, Putu was a good guy and didn't make me feel silly. FUN WITH NAMES Putu explained a few funny things regarding people's names on the island of Bali. In general, Balinese people name their children depending on the order they are born, and the names are the same for both males and females: The firstborn child is named Wayan, Putu, or Gede. The second is named Made or Kadek. The third child goes by Nyoman or Komang. And the fourth is named Ketut – like the old wise Balinese man in Eat, Pray, Love (which translates to" little banana") So, what do they call their fifth child, you may ask? Well, they simply start over again and name him or her Wayan, Putu or Gede. Anyway, together with a few friends, we asked Putu (a firstborn) to take us around to some interesting places in Bali. But before we explore, let's learn more about this beautiful island. 7 FACTS ABOUT BALI DIGITAL NOMAD HOTSPOT Bali is a small, well-known beautiful island in Indonesia (Southeast Asia). The capital, Denpasar, is the island's largest city and home to the international airport. But the most well-known Balinese places are probably Ubud (in the centre of the island) and the beach town of Canggu (on the western part of the island). Both are hotspots for digital nomads like me. HINDUISM IN A MUSLIM COUNTRY Bali is the only Hindu-majority province in Muslim-majority Indonesia. 86.9% of the population are devoted to Balinese Hinduism. BALI IS A SMALL ISLAND Bali is 95 miles (153 km) from east to west and only 69 miles (112 km) from north to south. It has a population of 4.3 million people. TOURISM IS VERY IMPORTANT Pre-Covid, they had almost 6.3 million tourists stop by every year. Tourism is the beating heart of their economy, as around 80% of the island's economy depends on tourism. As you can imagine, it's been a tough couple of years for Bali during COVID. The 6.3 million visitors in 2019 dropped to less than 1.1 million in 2020. NEW YEAR'S EVE IS QUIET Unlike almost everywhere else in the world, there are no big parties on New Year's Eve in Bali. The day is called Nyepi, and it's a day of silence and meditation. The whole island shuts down, and no work, travelling, or even noise is allowed. When I heard this, I thought, "What…? That's what I experienced as I (sort of) remember a big New Year's Eve party here". That's because Nyepi is not celebrated on December 31st but mainly in March. BABIES NEVER TOUCH THE GROUND In their first few months, Balinese babies are thought to be connected to the spirits and to stay connected, and they should not touch the ground. When they are about three months old, the infants finally touch the ground, and their family holds a big celebration to mark the occasion. THEY ONLY HAVE TWO SEASONS It's moderate throughout the year, and Bali has only two seasons: the dry season (April to October) and the wet season (October to April). MONKEYING AROUND IN BALI Putu picked us up in Canggu. He had a great sightseeing adventure in store for us, including a visit to the cat poop cafe (well, not really, but kind of). More on this later. On the way to the coffee farm, we passed the cultural centre of the island: Ubud. We drove past the famous Ajuna Statue, which Putu explains is part of the Hindu religion. We talk about how tolerance is a major part of the island culture. We made our way to the famous Ubud Monkey Forest, which is a forest filled with, you guessed it, monkeys. The guidebook tells me not to carry anything in my hand as the cheeky monkeys will likely come and take it from you. I held my podcast microphone and was a bit worried that they would steal it from me and take over this podcast. BALINESE HUMOUR Back in the car, we chatted more about the funny name situation on the island, and Putu decided to tell a joke.  Let me set it up: Four people get on a plane. One is from Paris, one is from Denmark, and the other two are from Bali, named Putu and Made. "The Parisian drops her perfume but doesn't mind because there is a lot of perfume in Paris. Then, the Danish drops his chocolate but also doesn't mind because there is a lot of chocolate in Denmark (apparently). Then, Made drops Putu out the window, but doesn't mind because there are many Putu's in Bali…" I love Balinese humour, even though I don't always totally understand it. Like, when Ketut told a joke to Julia Roberts in Eat Pray Love… that Ketut cannot fly on an airplane because Ketut has no teeth. Julia Roberts seemed to get the joke. Somebody, please write to me and explain that joke to me. Speaking of jokes, a few cat poop jokes coming up: COFFEE LUWAK (AKA CAT POOP COFFEE) We eventually made it to the coffee plantation that makes the world's most expensive coffee: Coffee Luwak – or Kopi luwak. It is made from partially digested coffee cherries that have been eaten and pooped out by a shy cat-like creature called the Asian palm civet. Then, hard-working coffee farmers go through the cat poop and dig out the coffee which they use to make Kopi Luwak. No wonder it's the most expensive coffee in the world. At the plantation, we met our female guide, who is probably called Putu or Kadek but goes by the name Monica, who tells us more about how the Luwak Coffee is made. "They eat any kind of coffee bean, as long as the quality is good. They don't chew the bean, so it passes through in its entirety." As she was talking about the process, I couldn't help wondering how in the world they thought of taking coffee beans out of cat poop and use them to make coffee. Even thought, I REALLY want my coffee in the morning, there are limits. "The first time this process was accidentally discovered was in Sumatra in the early 18th Century. The farmers realised that a lot of their coffee beans were disappearing, and they soon found them again in the poop of the Asian palm civets roaming the grounds. The farmers used the poop beans to make coffee and discovered that it had a unique taste thanks to the intervention by the civets." The part of the coffee plantation that is open to the public has a cage with a few Asian palm civets, a beautiful café area with a stunning view, and a few coffee plants. Monica tells us that there is a bigger area outside this part with many more plants and that they harvest every six months. But Luwak Coffee is not seasonal and is available all year round. She then takes us on a tour of the plantation where we ate fresh coffee beans (from the plant, from the plant, I promise…). "We clean the beans three times and then roast them. In the roasting process, the soft skin of the beans burns away, leaving the quality bean. Each roast takes about 45mins per kilogram". PERCOLATED POOP TASTING After we toured the farm, we were served ten small cups of coffee. One of them was the very special and super expensive Luwak Coffee. Is it as good as the price tag indicates? Yes! It was really good... even if the beans had been inside a cat a few hours prior, probably. GET PURIFIED IN HOLY (BUT MAYBE DIRTY) WATER Our next stop was the Hindu Balinese water temple called Tirta Empul Temple – in Balinese: Pura Tirta Empul. Tirta Empul means 'Holy Spring' in Balinese. The temple compound consists of a bathing structure, famous for its spring water that Balinese Hindus consider holy, so they go here for ritual purification. Putu explains: "People come here for healing. There are 14 different water streams, and each has a different function. Like, one is for the heart, the other for the skin, etc. You must go through each water stream in order. Before entering the water, you must pray and bless your body for healing. Once you are in the water, you must give a gift of a flower to the statues."  There are so many people lined up to go in the holy water. For most of the time, Tirta Empul is believed to be a source of clean water for ritual bathing. But, according to a report in 2017, authorities were investigating reports of water pollution and health risk at the Tirta Empul Temple.  So, if you go in, try not to drink any of the water. Until the next time, my name is Palle Bo, and I gotta keep moving. See you.    BALI FLASHBACK If you want to hear more from Bali, go back and listen to episode 184 where I spent a few days at an amazing place called Fivelements Resort.   PODCAST RECOMMENDATION If you like this podcast, I'm sure you will love the podcast called Far from Home.

Сайт «Тadviser» со ссылкой на The Economist на вершину пирамиды производителей ставит в порядке убывания Бразилию, Вьетнам, Колумбию, Индонезию и Эфиопию. По-сути, эти страны - экспортеры могут конкурировать со странами - поставщиками нефти, поскольку кофе по утверждению ряда аналитиков – это второй по количеству продаж товар на мировом рынке. Любопытно, что топ пирамиды потребителей выглядит иначе: на самом верху - страны ЕС, затем идут США, Бразилия, Япония и Индонезия. Канада и Россия, кстати, вошли в десятку потребителей, закупая кофе тоннами, но, если учесть численность населения, то канадцы балуют себя напитком где-то в три – четыре раза чаще, чем россияне, так как в годовом исчислении страна ввозит 230 тысяч тонн зерен, а Россия - 259 тысяч тонн. Из чего складывается цена чашки кофе в кофейне? Иконографика на сайте «Тadviser» на примере Великобритани выглядит так: если чашка , условно говоря, стоит 2.50 фунта, то самого кофе ( труда фермера, обжарки, транспортировки, и т.д.) в этой цене – всего лишь на 10 пенсов. Все остальное – это, прежде всего, - аренда помещения, затем ( по убывающей) – зарплата, налоги, молоко и посуда. Прибыль заведения с чашки - 25 пенсов. Но это, разумеется, - о напитке масс - маркета. А ценах на кофе люксовых категорий – несколько позже, а сейчас – о том, где лакомые зерна продаются и покупаются. Среди основных кофейных бирж сайт «Shop Tasty Coffee» называет для торгов по арабике International Coffee Exchange (Нью-Йорк) и для торгов по робусте London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange (Лондон). https://bcs-express.ru/novosti-i-analitika/tseny-na-kofe-b-iut-semiletnie-maksimumy-kak-na-etom-zarabotat На американском континенте, как пишет сайт BCS – express.ru, основные потребители сырья делятся на сети кофеен (тут два лидера - это Starbucks и Dunkin' Donuts) и производителей напитков (здесь лидируют J M Smucker и Keurig Dr Pepper). Стоит также назвать европейскую Nestle и канадскую Restaurant Brands International (эта сеть владеет Burger King и Tim Hortons). Весь мировой рынок кофе в целом составляет порядка $100 млрд. Стоимость кофейных зерен зависит от времени года (конец уборки или преддверие нового сезона), погоды, текущего баланса спроса и предложения. Но кому выгоден рост цен на кофе? Ответ лежит на поверхности - производителям товаров -заменителей : чая и энергетиков. https://bcs-express.ru/novosti-i-analitika/tseny-na-kofe-b-iut-semiletnie-maksimumy-kak-na-etom-zarabotat Цитирую Сайт BCS – express. ru: « Глобальный тренд на потребление искусственного кофеина и его аналогов сформировался еще в 1990-е. Сегодня рынок энергетиков оценивается в сумму более $50 млрд, то есть он всего наполовину меньше рынка кофе и довольно жестко поделен между основными производителями. Большую часть рынка энергетиков захватили три бренда - это австрийский Red Bull (компания не публичная), американский Monster Beverage (частично принадлежит Coca-Cola) и Rockstar (выкуплен PepsiCo). Но энергетики – это отдельная тема. Мы же сегодня «поем романс» традиционным напиткам, и кто, как не чай оспаривает пальму первенства у кофе! Главными производителями чая в мире являются Китай и Индия ( об этом сообщает InvestFuture.ru) . На долю КНР приходится 30-35 % мирового рынка. Далее, в порядке убывания, идут Индия, Кения, Шри-Ланка, Вьетнам и Турция. А вот относительно стран - потребителей, чьи жители предпочитают чай другим напиткам, данные разнятся. Однако, сравнивая информацию, я с удивлением обнаружила, что главные «чаеманы», если можно так сказать, - однюдь не англичане, хотя всем нам известна традиция чашечки чая в « 5th o'clock». Разумеется, в Великобритании чай подают не только в пять часов пополудни, а и в другое время, но англичан с их годовым потреблением немногим более двух с половиной килограммов чайного листа успешно обошли их соседи – ирландцы, а также жители Мавритании, Марокко и Турции. Турки, оказываются, используют для заварки чуть ли не 7 кг чая ежегодно! Торгуется чай на аукционах. Старейший - Лондонский. К крупнейшим также относятся аукционы в Амстердаме (Нидерланды), в Калькутте (Индия), в Джакарте (Индонезия) и в Коломбо (Шри Ланка). Во сколько же обходится чайный лист гурманам, покупающим его в магазинах? По информации Яндекс.Зен , стоимость китайского чая Tienchi (разновидности женьшеня) - $170 за кг, а, к примеру , за кг Panda Dung ( название буквально означает «фекалии панды») надо заплатить 70 тыс $. Нет, это, не «жуть», не «мрак», как бы сказала Эллочка-Людоедка, этот чай – не помет панд, просто фекалии этих зверьков используются для удобрения чайных деревьев. А вот, если вернуться к нашему рассказу о кофе, то в производстве одного из самых дорогих сортов участвуют другие зверьки, и это, опять же не мексиканские тушканчики или шанхайские барсы, придуманные Ильфом и Петровым, а малайские пальмовые куницы, они же мусанги или люваки, как их называют жители индонезийских островов Суматра, Сулавеси и Ява. Так вот , сорт называетс Kopi Luwak (Копи Лювак). Эти симпатичные, напоминающие кошек зверьки –люваки питаются ягодами с кофейных деревьев ( зерна кофе - это, вообще-то, ягоды кофейной вишни!). Часть зерен выводится из организма животных в непереваренном виде, но их вкус под действием желдочного сока меняется ( дегустаторы описывают вкус Копи Лювак как шоколадно-карамельный). Ну а дальше – технологическая обработка и в итоге стоимость этого удовольствия получается около 353 $ за кг. Но что такое «стоимость», если хочется поразить гостей не только вкусом, но и видом напитка! А раз так, то по случаю своего юбилея известная британская чайная компания PG Tips выпускает серию чайных пакетиков, украшенных вручную 280 бриллиантами. Цена каждого такого пакетика – $ 15 000. Ну и для совсем уж впечатлительных – чай Da-Hong Pao. Название буквально означает «большая красная мантия», он является одним из великих секретов императорской династии Мин. По легенде, у одного из имераторов заболела мать. Он отправляет слуг, чтобы те разыскали целебный чай. Они находят четыре куста волшебного чая, три из которых сохранились и по сей день. Этот Чай (Da-Hong Pao) имеет уникальные целебные свойства и является национальным достоянием Китая. Купить его нельзя. Получить его можно только в качестве подарка, который преподносится только наиболее почетным гостям, хотя известна приблизительная стоимость - 1 млн 200 тыс $ за кг. – В завершении позвольте переиначить известную фразу «скажи мне, ч то ты пьешь, и я скажу, кто ты...» Так что же такое - чашка кофе или чая? Возможность пролистать интернет вкупе с приятно согревающим напитком? Остановить мгновение, наслаждаясь возможностью прервать ежедневный бег дня? Или чашка кофеина, как шутят некоторые, – это «средство передвижения»? В любом случае, не стоит отказываться от этого удовольствия. Ведь именно маленькие радости позволяют нам чувствовать себя счастливыми. Хорошего вам дня и... до встречи!

Do you think it's possible to connect coffee beans extracted from cat poop to reflections on Holy Week? SPOILER ALERT: it's not. But we try anyway. Holy Week is great and it gives us that necessary reset to put our lives back in proper order so that we can enter more deeply into a relationship with God. Show notes: Cat poop coffee comes from the civet, and is properly called Kopi Luwak. We are willing to try it. Lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi is a Latin phrase meaning “The law of faith is the law of belief is the law lived.” The way we pray profoundly influences what we believe, and our belief in turn, teaches us how we are to live.

These tourist traps cage civets purely for display, then sell luwak coffee sourced from deplorable, factory-style farms where conditions are even worse. One local Luwak coffee farm held civets in tiny, filthy, barren wire cages, stacked on top of one another with no visible food or water. The rows of cages also held roosters and dogs – likely to slaughter.
