I’ve been looking looking for a tistisan or kiskisan (miller) to remove the parchment from the coffee beans (hulling). Bakit kaya tistisan at kiskisan ang tawag sa Tagalog?
We harvested half sack of Robusta, also called Pino. They’ve been sun dried a couple of weeks ago.
I found a coffee trader who regularly supplies coffee beans to Nestle who’s willing to TISTIS or KISKIS the beans. Baka pag lalaki– tistis, pag babae — kiskis.
When he saw that I only have half a sack of beans, he said libre na lang daw.
Supposed to be P50 yata.
I learned so much about coffee from Nelson.
Coffee is seasonal. When it’s harvest time, Nestle sets up a warehouse where the coffee traders are concentrated. The beans are traded by the kilo which is seven to eight pesos below the world market. Which means that the price per kilo varies. Nestle’s requirement is 14 % moisture. The traders have a gadget that measures the moisture content.
Nelson inherited this business from his father.
Omb———“Ano ang ibinilin sa’yo ng father mo na hangga ngayon ay natatandaan mo na na nagsisilbing gabay mo sa iyong pag nenegosyo?”
Nelson——-“Alagaan mo ang negosyong ito at huwag kang magpapakasira sa tao”.
Nelson’s capital (money) is not enough to buy all the coffee beans from the producers. He should maintain his integrity so that the producers would trust him with their goods. “Hindi kasya ang pera mo para bilhin lahat ng kape dito. Huwag mong sirain ang tiwala nila sa’yo”.
