Subject: The Calvin Powder Look Alike Tasting is Sunday


We finally found Rocotos (a key ingredient for the blend), sniffed all 26 
potential chiles and proposed a blend.  Here is the blend that we have the 
most hope for:

20%Rocoto/Manzano
10%Red Savina Habanero
10%Chinese
10%Tepin - wild
10%Aji Amarillo
10%Cayenne
10%New Mexican
10%Thai (Bird)
10%Tabasco



We have some similar blends that we will try that do not contain the Tepin 
($12 for 1/4 ounce).

We have several non-Calvin related that we will try because we think they 
have potential (one taster is a SandyO moderate).  We have to wait until 
Sunday to get everyone together for the tasting and then try the results on 
a steak cookout.

We have a bunch of ideas for the future using ground chocolate flavor coffee 
(for a breakfast blend), powdered bananas (for cereal), powdered Real Lemon 
(TM) for fruit and drinks.

My daughter has a talent for describing aromas.  We are documenting all 26 
aromas as we feel that and the heat are the major decision factors in a 
blend.

Please feel free to use any of this info as you see fit as we do not intend 
to do anything commercial.
