  • Marketing reading list 2022

    Saw this reading list yesterday. For future reference.

    Any recommendations?

  • Chiperoni weather

    When temperatures drop in Blantyre, tweets show up in my timeline. Kuzizira. Rainy drizzle weather. It’s chiperoni time in June and July.

    I am far away from Blantyre in sunny and warm Basel.

    Enjoying a very warm and sunny European summer.

    Trying to get into the habit of writing on my own blog instead of someone else’s social media platform. I love reading old blog posts here on Chiperoni.ch.

    Perhaps I can revive the habit and post regular updates?

    June has been a great month in terms of personal sporting activities. I found a good cadence. I hope I can keep up the momentum in July. My motto is: Every little bit counts.

    I found out that cycling in my neighbourhood is a way to catch up on those activity kilometres that I used to do on my daily bicycle commute. With less red lights and car traffic. Note to myself: do more of that.

  • Coffee from Chipunga, near Mzuzu

    I finished drinking my souvenir of Malawi coffee last week.

    I like the strong, rich flavour of Malawi coffee. It’s strong, it’s chocolatey, it’s earthy.

    Each time I wonder how I could help to promote Malawi coffee and its unique taste in Europe. Rather than importing green beans, could we import roasted beans? Rather than mixing different kinds of beans, could we promote single origin coffee? How would I start? What do I need to consider?

    finished drinking my packet of Chipunga coffee from Mzuzu in Malawi. I love the strong flavour.

    If you are interested in learning more about Chipunga, they have a website.

    Chipunga Coffee is grown at a high elevation in a cool, wet climate, on terraces of deep-brown-reddish free-draining soils.

    There is a cool project where you can subscribe to receive different kinds of Malawi coffee. Currently, on a hiatus it seems, but please check out A Coffee Basket from Malawi.
