Zaka Posted June 25, 2013 Irie, So I've known of "Ti kafé mawon" made from the seeds of Psychotria Nervosa for sometime but never had a chance to try it out. Well I've now opened the "Zaka Art Cafe", serving up my own homegrown coffee & Moringa Smoothies. So last night came across a bag of P.Abla seeds & decided to roast them up! Had a couple of cups this morning & it's KICKIN'!!!! I added just a pinch of the ti kafe mawon per cup of coffee beans, which I think is about the right amount...& put a definate edge on my own strong coffee! I also roasted up some Mucuna Pruriens beans, (I have a couple of sackfuls around) but these look like they will need peeling before a final roast??? I'll be testing it out tommorrow?? Respect, Z 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zaka Posted June 28, 2013 Irie, Woof, you're welcome to drop by anytime Bro. Got round to the Mucuna Pruriens beans, known locally as "Kafe Djab".......hehe Roasted them till they popped, then let them cool & peel off shells. Back into the pan for a final roast. When ground it made a light brown nutty smelling powder, looking like an instant coffee! Brewed a couple of large pinches per cup of coffee beans. Kinda tasted like the dandilion coffees I use to drink, back in the day.... Not got the kick of the "Ti kafé mawon"!!! I guess the next one to try out will be "Kafé zèpyant", Senna occidentalis....... I think I saw a bag of seeds somewhere???? Respect, Z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
