The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
Sounds like a meme somehow :P
Making some notes of your remarks here. 'Preciated. I've found Yirgacheffe in a local store. Will probably buy a bag.
Are you familiar with any of the following:
Frinsa Edun (Indonesia)
Kiangoi AB, Kirinyaga (Kenya)
Magarissa Sede (Ethiopia)
Rugori (Rwanda)
Out of all of those, I'm only familiar with the Kenyan. I'm pretty sure that I've had coffee from Kirinyaga and Kiangoi is a good farm, so that one should be exemplary Kenyan coffee. More generally, if you're going with some Yirgacheffe, I'd steer you away from the Magarissa Sede just because you're already looking at an Ethiopian, and maybe even tell you to pick up the Indonesian if you're looking to try a second set of beans that will provide a nice contrast taste-wise to the general similarities that many African coffees share. If not, I'll just add that my understanding of Rwandan coffee is that it used to be pretty hit or miss, but the Rwandan coffee industry has been hard at work for a long time now and I've always liked what I've picked up from there whenever it's been offered for I think at least a decade now so like Kenyan coffee, I'd expect that you'd get a good batch of beans there.
Regardless of what you choose, I hope you enjoy it and come back here to post the results of your experiments!
I'll report back next week!
