When this week’s venue fell through at the last minute, rather than scrambling to put together a half assed effort this Saturday we’ve opted to dedicate our whole ass to giving you nothing but the best in the weeks to follow. Stay tuned, watch this space, etcetera etcetera.

Coffee
The Kitsché pop-up is an immersive dining experience created and curated by students of architecture and design at RMIT. By special request, Black Coffee will be appearing this week as an exclusive offering to this projects’ patrons.
With a 5 course degustation by Francesca Woods, Miami Horror DJs, singing mermaids: The Shellettes, an ever evolving array of installations and attention to details this blurb was bound to omit, Kistché is an event it would be an embarrassment to ignore.
While there is no shortage of reasons to come along - Black Coffee being at the top of the list - there is a shortage of tickets. See links for details.

This week we’re helping christen the newly opened Hungry Workshop space, home of some of the finest design and analogue print work in Melbourne. Saturday is their second day of sporadic trade since opening last week with an amazing exhibition of artfully produced local illustrators’ prints entitled “Trophy Lives.”
With new offerings coming in from Central America and Kenya, now is a good time get the new stuff while it’s fresh and say goodbye to old favourites.
The Hungry Workshop will be selling prints from their exhibition as well as other bits and bobs that they’ve been known to print including some products that aren’t available on the webstore.
Speaking of webstores, ours is coming soon!

Coffee, Black
It’s time for the writers of the illustrious internet publication The Thousands to clear out their space mansions, so their butlers will be busy all week packing the boots of their Benzs for a garage sale of epic proportions. There will be clothes, books, jewellery and actual cool stuff for sale too. All will be accompanied by vegan baked goods for energy, not vegan sausages for strength, music for vitality and of course Black Coffee for perseverance.

Sydney thanks/Thanks Sydney!
The Sydney event was a supreme success and the time has come to thank the institutions and individuals who made it all possible.
First of all the coffee. If you live in Sydney support these roasters. They are all doing great things with great coffees. If your not from Sydney pay them a visit whenever you’re next in town.
Reuben Hills
Single Origin
Mecca
Coffee Alchemy
Next the space. Not only are Outré Gallery ahead of the pack in displaying and selling contemporary pop and alternative art, they also happen to be some of the nicest and most genuine people on the face of the earth and worthy of your support.
What’s an event without an opening party? Found organic juice and Sailor Jerry spiced rum were kind enough to provide a caffeine free beverage alternative on the night.
And in no particular order, thanks to all the following individuals in particular:
Nico Alary
Lisa Pham
Megan VanderHeyden
Gemma Jones
and many, many more…
Thanks to anyone who came, supported, watched from home, served us, housed us, entertained us and of course all the coffee producers without whom we would have no product to showcase.

Storm in a Coffeecup
Saturday April 28 AND Sunday April 29 2012
@ Storm in a Teacup
48a Smith St, Collingwood (in the old Trippy Taco shop)
Saturday 10am-11pm
Sunday 10am-5pm
Coffee
Tea
Coffee cherry tea
and boozy beverages made with all three
While specialty coffee has enjoyed a fair bit of limelight in the last decade, few have been game to make special tea their specialty. Enter Hannah Dupree (rhyme intended) - owner/operator of Storm in a Teacup - whoâs been tweaking on tea for as long as weâve been on the coffee.
In addition to our usual offerings we have some Sydney coffee to spare and to mark this momentous marriage of fine tea and coffee weâll be introducing a new offering of cascara: a tisane brewed using the often discarded coffee cherry husk that encases the beans. Our hosts will of course be serving their meticulously curated menu of mind blowing, specialty and rare teas and tisanes.
Thanks to Storm in a Teacupâs late hours and liquour license there will also be a range of tea and coffee based alcoholic offerings into the evening.

The Website
For the past 48 hours leading up to Black Coffee Sydney in between sipping brews and schmoozing all over town, Nico and I have been tweaking, pimping and sprucing blackcoffeeshop.com.au. And we’re pretty happy with what we’ve come up with. So get on board and have a click around and keep checking back because there is plenty of content coming up. Stay tuned for instructional videos, an expanding web store and Nico’s late nineties style webcam live feed. Constant content creation and collaboration is key. AND if you’re an avid tweeter, f-booker or tumblr-er HAVE NO FEAR, the new site will still feedback any juicy tidbits back to all those micro mediums.
