This month, we right here at Thieves HQ wanted an excuse to hang around, eat an excessive amount of, and possibly get just a bit bit foolish. So we gave ourselves one: Christmas in July.
It simply so occurs that this month’s featured espresso can be White Horse Espresso’s Christmas Mix (in July) — their most awarded roast ever, and truthfully, the right excuse for a festive little get-together. So we placed on our winter greatest (as a result of it is freezing right here in Melbourne), poured some mulled wine, and gathered across the desk.
Large because of our mates at The Nationwide Resort in Richmond for internet hosting the magic — full with an unbelievable full Christmas feast, mulled wine on arrival, an open hearth, and precisely the correct amount of over-ordering. It was cozy, it was chaotic, and it was very, very Thieves.
Because the evening unfolded, so did the conversations — half of which had been, predictably, about espresso. Pour-over versus espresso. Tasting notes that obtained weirdly particular. The good oat vs. dairy debate. And a minimum of three separate theories about who invented the flat white.
However in between the banter and the refills, there have been stomach laughs, good yarns, and the sort of mid-winter magic that doesn’t come round typically. And certain, the meals was unbelievable. The espresso? Even higher. However the very best a part of the evening? Hanging out with the people who make Thieves what it’s.
As a result of on the finish of the day, nothing says “let’s catch up” fairly like “desire a espresso?”
(Particularly if there’s a cheeky shot of one thing additional in there.)
