What happened last week
Last week I took part in the Bike Coffee Race in Łódź. The rules were simple - you had to visit at least 5 cafes (I visited all 15), drink at least one coffee (in total), and have a lot of fun.
Apart from this, we worked on the theme that I mentioned last week. The good news is that we finally have a name for it - “pacamara”, a variety of coffee bred in El Salvador in 1958.
