Perhaps you have heard about the art of cooking, but have you ever heard of the art of roasting coffee? Roasting is a skill as well as an art that requires a lot of training and experience. To be an expert roaster means that one has the ability to "read" coffee beans.
Generally, there are four major kinds of roasted beans; light roast, medium roast, medium dark roast and dark roast. The light roast is light brown in color which creates a milder coffee flavor. The most commonly used roast in America is the medium roast because it produces a stronger flavor and is not oily on the surface.
Thus, this roast is often called the America roast. Another kind of roast is the medium dark roast which is darker in color. It has a bittersweet after-taste and is oily on the surface. Lastly, the dark roast produces beans that are very bitter. A common example of the kind of coffee made with the dark roast is the Espresso.

today grass and regine are going to yi-lan of east-north taiwan for a new work again. maybe we are going to hold forums and workshops again. this time is different, is for for a school not for goverments! the ci-xing school is private management of public management , has a kinderdarden, a elementory school and a junior high school.

when we were eating dinner together in the office, watching the vcd and briefing of the school, then i was really happy about the school we are going to work together! we can saw that they have their lessons with art education in every different subjects. teachers have to prepare, make and draw their teaching materials by theirself. they try to let students to respect the earth and human.it's really different from commen schools in taiwan.

they told me the education concept of ci-xing is form anthroposophy and waldorf education ( rudolf steiner ). i never heard that before, sounds wonderful, i have to try to understand this.
