this morning amazing aussie barista judge paul haddon, despite his incipient cold, ran all about sydney in pursuit of chocolate and coffee. this took us to gavin's single origin, belle fleur for some fine aussie flavored wattleseed and lemon myrtle bon-bons (lemon myrtle! yummy), and then to kimberley for some quandong and kakadu plum chocolates.
after that we stopped by aussie barista champ hazel de los reyes' secret hideout where she is holed up practicing her signature drink for the upcoming barista competition sunday. alas i will be tasmania by that time and so will most sadly miss what is surely to be her stellar performance! hazel is just the sweetest human being ever, no?
we all wish her the best of luck, i'm sure.
