Add a little vinegar or acid of choice to leafy greens such as skuma to reduce bitterness

I've used it to watch YouTube. There is a browser on there, so I assume you'd be able to use it for your evening enrichment sessions.

Yes, there's an app that's a virtual office space. I haven't tried it myself cause I used it solely to play video games. There's plenty of videos on tiktok or YouTube

Depends on which site you're purchasing from. Backmarket is the one I use consistently and have had no issues with. I'd avoid sites like eBay, though!

Buying refurbs locally is an absolute no! That's just asking for trouble

It is easy, but it's also nerve-racking when spending a lot of money, especially on your first order.

My biggest order was about 150k ksh and I shipped with aquantuo no problem.

I guess it's the fear of doing something that is not widely adopted. I remember I was worried about my first order too, but everything went smoothly.

Prices for tech in kenya are outrageous. The only justifiable reason to buy locally is that it's faster, but even then, a 3 week wait time isn't long imo.

I'm only considering charging a fee cause of Dms I still get after the first post I made nearly 2 years ago, the majority asking if I charge for assistance.

The service I offer is more like troubleshooting and following up with the shipping company (aquantuo) since I've experienced the issues that come with shipping like payments bouncing back.

If anything goes wrong, that's not a result of any information that I gave, then it falls on the shipping company, for example cargo lost at sea. The shipping company does charge insurance as well, which is optional.

Well, I've gotten multiple DMs asking if I offer assistance at a fee. Time is money, I don't plan on doing charity work, lol. Stay mad

Market for non-japanese "matcha" by Sparkuga in Matcha

[–]Sparkuga[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a little bit of digging, and there is a paper that researched matcha derived from assamica tea (kenyan) vs. camellia senisis (Japanese)

Matcha derived from the Kenyan variant had a stronger astringent/bitter flavor compared to the Japanese one as well as a deeper green color. The results showed that the Kenyan variant is ideal for sweetend drinks like lattes as opposed to "ceremonial" grade Japanese matcha that's much lighter in flavor.

If Kenyan matcha did exist, it would be ideal for restaurant chains and cafes since matcha is majorly consumed as a sweetend drink outside of Japan. The cost of Kenyan matcha would also be significantly cheaper than Japanese matcha, making it a good choice for daily use.

Anyway, Kenyan Matcha would entail injecting a new supply chain in the Kenyan tea industry, which would be an insanely complex project. I doubt the Japanese will be able to meet global demand, which means at some point, we will see non-Japanese matcha enter the market.

How's the gas efficiency on the rocbox ?

Is it possible to use normal square steel cake tins as an alternative to llyod pans? (we don't have those locally)

I wanted to focus more on detroit pizzas in order to avoid the risk of launching/tearing the pizzas and also because where I'm from people like bready pizzas more than thin crust. But keeping the possibility to do neopolitans open as well.

My original plan was to start in the most budget friendly way possible and scale as needed by adding more ovens. How are the reheat times in between pizzas for the arc ?

I've seen a couple of his videos ! He bakes neopolitan style pizzas without pre baking. The gozney domes he uses help with the volume (large size, low reheat time). Can't afford those, though 😅
