- 7/3: Happy early Fourth of July! Four new coffees!!!! Here they are in short. First is the arrival of Guatemala Acatenango Gesha: Jasmine, citrus blossoms, tropical fruit with a complex Gesha flavor profile and aroma. Click through to the review. Guatemala Finca La Bella JBM Cultivar, a balanced cup with milk chocolate, and a bit of apple spice harvested from Jamaican seedstock in Guaemala. Our third Guat. addition is the return of Guatemala Huehuetenango Finca La Maravilla: sweet fruited notes, mild sweet chocolate-dipped nuts. Last, but not least, we received new Yemen Mokha Sharasi, a Mokha coffee from a new region not usually sold as single-origin. This is a sweet Yemen and also versatile: makes a nice SO espresso!
- 6/26: Clever Coffee Dripper: I am really excited about this little filtercone; I think it greatly improves the quality of the coffee you brew. It is a simple #4 cone with a drip-stop mechanism. You can let the coffee and water infuse for whatever length of time you want, place the filter on a cup or other vessel and let the filtered coffee drain down. Maria and I have been using this to make coffee at home on the weekends for a couple of months now - and it works great. It actually does not drip! Well, not when it is not supposed to. It is an in-expensive way to make great coffee; all the body and full-flavor of french press, without the sediment. The convenience of a filtercone, with control over extraction. -Tom
- 6/25: Wait, two more coffees to add: We're excited to have the new harvest to offer from two of our regular farms: Panama Organic La Berlina Estate Typica, this lot is a creamy classic Central with caramel-malt sweet notes. and a savory tone as well. Secondly we are adding a new peaberry today: Kenya Kirinyaga -Karinga Peaberry which cups as a more balanced Kenya than recent arrivals. It has a reduced acidity and does well at dark roast levels too.
- 6/24: We are adding four coffees today: Hawaii Kona -Kowali Farm JBM Cultivar, a classic is back with sweet floral aromatics (Limit to 1lb) Next up is Costa Rica La Candelilla Guaca Bourbon, a great drinking coffee with bittersweet chocolate, thick body, dark fruits. We also got a good decaf Central, the Costa Rica La Magnolia SWP Decaf, which has with a 'fudgesicle' note. Last, we have the return of Tanzania Blackburn Estate Peaberry, a wine-like coffee with berry notes - a favorite of Kenya fans.
- 6/17: More exciting arrivals! First up is the mild return of Brazil Jacu Bird Coffee. It's a "bird-processed" natural Brazil, check out this and the other reviews for the full story. Next is Costa Rica "Cafe Sin Limites", a great Villa Sarchi miel-prep coffee from the farm. This farm has placed #2 in the CoE for the past 2 years. Big buttery mouthfeel with honey notes. Yemen Mokha Ismaili is finally back! Complex with different tastes at different roasts. Try step blending and single-origin espresso, check out Tom's full cupping review. And finally, the latest in our series, Espresso Workshop #5 - The Breccia Blend. Enjoy lemon and berry flavors at a medium roast, this is on the brighter end of the scale.
- 6/12: New Microlots are in, from Colombia and Costa Rica ! ... Check the full reviews but here are the briefs on these limited offerings: Colombia Finca Buenavista -Carlos Imbachi Microlot: sweetly fruited, floral aroma. Colombia La Esperanza -Isaias Cantillo Osa Microlot: darker fruit tastes, syrupy body.
Colombia Los Galpones -Manuel Santacruz Microlot: delicate, grape-like. Subtle and nuanced at a light roast. And it's the return of Costa Rica Organic La Yunta Estate: hints of peaches in syrup, it's a subtle "drinking" coffee." Lastly, we also have a balanced wet-process African addition, the Ethiopia Mullege Yirga Cheffe: passionfruit, guava, creamy feel. Keep the roast light!
- 6/11: Back by popular demand (sort of)! We are now offering Roasted Espresso again! Some months ago when we introduced our regular roasted "coffee pairings" we stopped offering roasted espresso and roasted decaf. We think that the roasted coffee pairings are working out well; and now we are bringing back roasted espresso! We will offer one Espresso Workshop blend and one Standard blend for sale each week. Or maybe it will be a Single Origin espresso, or two Workshop blends - we'll see what strikes us. We plan to roast the coffee and keep it in stock as an inventory item - so you can add the coffee to an existing order and it all ship together. Maria
- 6/10: We've three new offerings today from 'round the globe: Mexico Organic Chiapas Proish Coop, a great harvest this year with a bright yet mild profile, hazelnut and peach fruit tastes. Next is Kenya Kirinyaga AA -Gakuyu-ini Factory, a larger bean than our Peaberry from the same co-op with a milder acidity and some SO espresso potential. Last up is the exotic India Kattehollay Estate Peaberry, a somewhat wild profile with starfruit, almond, unusual fragrance. Please check out Tom's full reviews! (also, we should be adding new arrival micro-lots from Colombia and Costa Rica by late Friday, the 12th)
- 6/8: We had no power all day Sunday - so if you tried to call - or if you left a message Friday or Saturday, please call or email us since we lost it. Due to the beauty of remote server technology, the site, cart and email are all uneffected. Just the phone and fax were down. And everything is back on Monday morning. Maria
- 6/4: We have 3 new coffees today, here they are with a brief description from the review: Mexico Oaxaca Pluma WP Decaf, everyone's favorite region Oaxaca, only available in decaf but a nice balanced Oax profile. Colombia WP Decaf -Huila Excelso, a great Huila offering that rivals its caffeinated version! Last, we have a properly caffeinated Sumatra Sidikalang, akin to a less herbal version of a sweet Lintong type Indonesian.
- 6/2: Two new arrivals, sort of "the first shall be last..." sort of theme: First, our last Kona of the season, more great coffee from Rita Cowell in Honaunau: Hawaii Kona -Kowali Farm Typica, the 1st prize winner in this year's Kona Coffee competition. Refined sweetness, nice bright accents, and jasmine floral flavors. Keep the roast light per the review. We have the first of our new crop Costa Rican coffees, the Costa Rica Lourdes de Naranjo Herbazu, a slightly different wet process with a balance of brightness and sweetness.
- 5/28: We have an update on Behmor cleaning procedures that is fairly important for Behmor owners. Check this page for more information. Maria
- 5/27: I have had the opportunity to cup our Hacienda Esmeralda Gesha vac pack lots (#2, #10) from last year against the new crop, and was surprised at the quality of the '08 coffees. I took the most expensive coffee from the '09 auction home for the weekend, and brewing it every which way, I made coffee I thought was "nice" but nothing that really popped out, nothing I would pay $117 a pound for! It made me think about what I really would pay for a very special coffee, and during the long Memorial Day weekend I came up with a figure, $45 per pound, as a reasonable amount for really top notch, award winning coffee. At that rate, each cup is about $2, which seems like a fair price. And if I roasted a batch that really "nailed it on the head" and another that was a shade too dark, or too light, I wouldn't be all broken up about it. So I decided, given the fact we have a few expensive coffees in vacuum pack that are not selling in this down economy, why not have a $45/Lb. sale? We are offering our formerly $125 Panama Esmeralda Gesha Lot 2 for $45/Lb (without the pound of Lot 10 we were previously pairing it with), and we also have the $92 Guatemala Cup of Excellence #1, El Injerto Pacamara, a blistering-good coffee, at $45 per Lb. We are also reducing the price on Panama Esmeralda Gesha Lot 10 to $13/Lb in anticipation of the '09 lot we bought, which will sell for around $35 per Lb when it arrives. We bought only about 300 pounds of Esmeralda in the auction this year. We have cupped all of these vacuum pack coffees and they are fresh as they day they came in!
- 5/26: More arrivals to post to the list, two South Americans and a surprisingly drinkable robusta: Brazil Cachoeira Yellow Canario Bourbon, a complex cup with a velvety feel and malted/cocoa at lighter roasts. Again, our recommendation is to keep this somewhat atypical Brazil light in roast. Next up, the fruits of our continuing Colombian Microlot project: Colombia "Platos Fuertes de Huila" MicroLot Mix, a blend of smaller micro-lots from Huila, light and effervescent with apricot tastes. And lastly, an interesting and relatively clean Robusta for your espresso blends: India Robusta - Jeelan Estate Nirali
- 5/26: Coffee Cultivars: Here is a collection of images from my travels of many different types of varietals. I thought it would be interesting to pull all these together into one page ... well, 3 pages since there are so many of them.
- 5/26: Central America Travelogues and pictures ...Ben and Maria met me in Costa Rica for a Central America Family Coffee get-together, and then we all went to the Best of Panama competition in Boquete. During and after the 2009 El Salvador Cup of Excellence, I visited some of our important coffee sources, such as Aida Batlle's Kilimanjaro farm, and Vickie Dalton's Finca Matalapa. Here's some photos of my El Salvador Travels . And here are the El Salvador Cup of Excellence 2009 photos. Woo!
- 5/22: We are launching our new Sweet Maria's Home Coffee Roasting Forum in advance of the long weekend. It is meant to supplement the email home roast list and to preserve the good discussions we have on focused topics - discussions that are useful for the new roaster and the experienced roaster alike. Please take a look at the forum, sign up so you can secure your username, and let us know what you think! -Tom
- 5/14: It’s a fantastic day … the day I get to announce that new crop Kenya coffees have arrived. And we are dropping this Kenya bomb to maximum effect: THREE new auction lot peaberry coffees all at once, heralding in what I think is an epic year of great Kenya coffees. Kenya Nyeri Peaberry -Mutwewathi Factory, a floral cup with apple-apricot compote and pink-grapefruit flavors. Kenya Kirinyaga Peaberry -Gakuyu-ini Factory, a fruit-bomb with complex lemon flavors followed by raisin and grape when it cools. Kenya Kiambu Peaberry -Ndumberi Coop, the cup is a delicate balance between bright fruit and refined sugar, with a pepper accent. Click-through to the full reviews for more cupping notes and farm facts.
- 5/14: More items on the sale page! - Maria
- 5/7: South American accent: 3 new arrivals from Brasil, Perú, and Colombia.
Today we're offering the new harvest Colombia Cauca -Oro de Suarez, with hints of exotic fruit, raisin, a deeper and darker Colombian. Next is Brazil Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza Celso/Hamilton, exotic, rustic, with a lot of character, raisin and spice. Yemen fans should take note here. Lastly we have a coffee Tom tried at the judging table: Peru FTO Competition - Sr. Inocencio Flores. Please see the full review but expect some raw sugar tastes, grapes, and a dry finish.
- 5/4: Changes are afoot! You've probably noticed that we've added a navigation sidebar and a new coffee glossary, and that we've changed the way the reviews look quite a bit (purple backgrounds: good riddance!). We've also made a few other changes you might be interested in. We get lots of emails asking for advice on choosing coffees and choosing roasters, and we've compiled two new articles based on frequent questions: Choosing Coffee FAQ and Choosing a Home Roaster FAQ. We also recently restructured how the coffee archives (the list of coffees we've carried in the past) work: rather than having huge pages with coffees from several origins, we've created a page where you can pull up coffees from a specific country. Hopefully this make it easier to look up specific coffees. Older coffees (from 2007 on back) are still in the old archive format.
- 4/30: We're Bringing in the May one day early with a "gneiss" new blend and three new arrivals. First up is a later arriving but first-class Ethiopia Wet-Process Bonko: Lemon cookie, light body, top notch! Then we have a solid Sumatra Mandheling WP Decaf, found most syrupy and rewarding at a dark roast. Next, the return of a familiar favorite Guatemala Fraijanes - Finca Agua Tibia, a tangy and spicy old-growth Bourbon; mouthfeel has
a 'hot apple cider' quality. Lastly, the new Espresso Workshop Blend #4: The Dextral Strike-Slip
: spicy, complex, with satin body and dense flavors. Strange name? Great blend! As always, please check out the full reviews and ratings.
- 4/28: We have two new t-shirts to sell: one is based on a photo of beauty shop (they call them "
Saloons") advertisements in Karatina Kenya, the other is a drawing of Tom's own creation - Double Expresso, or maybe you spell it Exxxpresso. - Maria
- 4/27: More items on the sale page! - Maria
- 4/21:
SCAA 2009 Atlanta. A Grumpy Commentary
- 4/16: We keep rolling out more special vacuum packed lots with the amazing Costa Rica
Lourdes de Naranjo - Genesis a vividly bright cup with strong honey-lemonade flavors, red berry, toasted nut and praline. This is from a tiny farm that subsequently won the Cup
of Excellence competition after we had purchased this lot, very limited supply: 1 lb and 2 lbs. only. Also, vacuum packed at the mill, we offer the El Salvador La Montanita Pacamara an extraordinary pacamara with a comlpex profile owing more to the
cultivar than the origin: foresty hints with a touch of strawberry, sweetened rhubarb, great body and exceptional balance. Finally, Nicaragua FTO Esteli - Miraflor Coop with almond nuttiness at lighter roasts delicately balanced with
candy-like sweetness. Light to medium body, red apple in the finish, a very pleasant, clean cup.
- 4/13: More Springtime Arrivals! ... First up we have a lively pulp-natural: Costa Rica Herbazu Yellow Honey, for those fans of the red honey prep, it's also a bit different. Next, the return of Uganda Organic Bugisu, a light-to-dark versatile Organic preparation from the Sipi Falls area. Also, we have a lively southern Mexico arrival: Mexico FTO ISMAM Chiapas, with a touch of praline and orange. Finally, the return of everybody's favorite mouthful: India Mysore Nuggets Extra Bold, a substantial cup with milk chocolate and hints of nut. Also: Brazil/dark roast lovers should pay special notice to this one.
- 4/7: Tom's trip reports from the trip he made in late March to Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua are just posted. The trips were short - but action packed! Lots of good information about what we can expect in terms of coffees from the new crop in these countries. And of course, lots of fun photos.- Maria
Also, we have three Cup Of Excellence Auction Lot offerings Today : ... two are from the first-ever Rwanda CoE Auction where Tom was a judge. Here they are: Rwanda CoE Sovu-Maraba, delicately restrained with fruit and soft chocolate tones, Rwanda CoE Bufcafe Nyarusiza, a bright but balanced auction lot, very nice. From the Bolivian auction, we have the Bolivia CoE "Cafe de Montaña" look for wildflower/herbal aromatics and some spiced apple in the cup taste, but... As always, please click-through and read the full reviews, especially with these special small lots.
- 4/1: No foolin' around here at Sweet Maria's today, we are adding four new coffees and one that we've offered previously: Yemen Mokha Harasi is clean and sweet at City+ with hints of dried apricot, peach, banana, and leather, it becomes more pungent and bittersweet at FC+. Colombia Huila San Jose de Isnos has a medium-light body, bracing fruited brightness with tangy roast notes in the finish; a very pleasant pairing of sharp acidity and golden raisin flavor. For all you FTO fans out there we have Honduras FTO Marcala-Beneficio Santa Rosa a mild, crisp flavor profile with hazelnut roast tones, light body, apple acidity, spice hints, and cocoa powder. Hawaii Kona - Moki's Farm is an outstanding new arrival with refined sweetness, floral aromatics and flavors, this coffee can be roasted darker for great SO espresso. Last, but not least, we are again offering the Australia Mountain Top Farm - Bin 478, we were able to secure more of this vacuum packed lot and are quite pleased with the juicy, crisply fruited cup.
- 3/23: Happy Monday! We are adding three new coffees today: Ethiopia Organic Dry-Process Birbissa which is a fruity cup full of strawberry, cantaloupe, peach and apricot. Panama WP Decaf - Maunier Estate a crisp cup with zesty brightness, lemon and a hint of jasmine. And Sulawesi AA Wet-Process Toarco a radically different wet-process Sulawesi that is bright, dynamic, super-aromatic, floral and herbal with a piney resinous aroma and flavor hints. Truly a different breed of Sulawesi that has a brightness one doesn't normally associate with this origin. Also, we are adding the El Salvador Pulp Natural Finca Mauritania which is a more full-bodied, pulp natural version of the El Salvador Finca Mauritania we just ran out of; we've carefully stored this coffee in grain-pro bags and the cup reveals amazing rustic fruit flavors, limit 5 lbs.
- 3/12: Tall and tan and young and lovely the Brazil Ipanema "Tree Dry-Process" is back! We were able to secure more of this great lot that reminds us of Oreo cookies, kinda. Also, joining the Brazil "tree-dried" line-up is the Brazil Moreninha Formosa Raisin Coffee Micro-Lot, this lot has super-intense chocolate notes with melon and peach flavors. The El Salvador's just keep coming with the addition of El Salvador Siberia Estate Bourbon, this is a classic balanced Bourbon cultivar coffee with almond roast flavor and a clean citrus fruit hint. We also are adding the very special Costa Rica Herbazu Red Honey, this lot has savory aromatics, winey fruit and grapefruit bright notes.
- 3/10: I'm not finished yet. I keep generating material from this recent Africa trip. I was writing some actual commentary. Here is a link to the Kenya Travelogue, and here you can find commentary from Ethiopia -Tom
- 3/9: After a month long experiment, I have decided to switch us back to UPS Ground for our shipping special packages. I think it was sort of a wash for most customers (some liked FedEx better, some UPS, some USPS) and there is really not any savings in it for us. I kind of agonized over this more than I should have, but in any event, we are back to UPS. So the Shipping Special now says "SM Shipping Special (UPS Ground)" and you can expect a UPS Ground tracking # by email and a visit from a guy (or gal) Teamster in a brown truck. - Maria Tom returned from a trip to the East and South of Ethiopia, and then on to Kenya for Cupping and Farm Visits. Tons of nice pictures ... Wahoo!
- 3/6: I just listed more sale page items. We are selling our Syd & Jerry's Roaster, a one pound natural gas fired shop roaster. We used it very lightly the last few years, but pretty regularly before that. We did some test roasts before packing it up and it works well. So check it out if you have always been hankering for a one pound roaster! Oops - some of the codes on the sale page were wrong over the weekend - sorry about that. I just fixed them this morning - Maria
- 2/27: Yet more arrivals! To the tune of 3! It's the return of a rare region: Ecuador Puyango Loja, a medium cup with floral, apple and peach notes; Another organic central is added: Costa Rica Helsar Oganic Naranjo, with cocoa and orange tastes; and lastly, Sumatra Lintong Dolok Sanggul, with caramel, black tea, cinnamon tones, it does well along a full range of roasts.
- 2/18: We have three more arrivals! ... Our new Espresso Workshop Blend: Espresso Workshop #3 Basaltic Bourbon blend, a lively and clean blend of Bourbon varietals; Colombia "Dos Payasos de Tolima" (3-star), a lightly spiced cup with apple and caramel, it's a new offering from our Tolima project; and finally a great coffee from Burundi, clean and sweet, similar to a Rwanda Bourbon: Burundi Kayanza Bwayi No. 7
- 2/17: We have three new arrivals today: El Salvador Matalapa Estate Bourbon, becoming a classic Bourbon offering for us, nicely balanced with orange and praline; Ethiopia Organic Kemala "Korito Koran", (Sorry - Korito Koran is already sold out) A new certified-organic direct trade coffee, great for dark roasts, SO espresso and blends: thick body, fruit finish, chocolate; and finally... from the Southern region of Sulawesi: Sulawesi Enrekang "Mount Alla", a more 'Sumatran' profile chocolately offering, syrupy and sweet.
- 2/6: We added a new RSS feed to notify folks about new coffees - the link is feed://www.sweetmarias.com/rss/rss.php and it's easy to add to any browser (ie Firefox) or other device. Here's the new lots: Costa Rica Violeta -Don Teofilo Estate A clean, bright coffee with honey toast aromatics, bright lemon tea liveliness, hints of raspberry and strawberry, nutty roast tones, medium body, crisp aftertaste. El Salvador Los Luchadores Pacamara Tropical fruit aromas, lychee and passionfruit, with chocolate bittersweetness, baked peaches, mango, papaya, and anise seed. Kenya AA Auction Lot - Ndaroini A balanced Kenya with restrained acidity, grape, berry aroma and flavor with winey hints in the finish, syrupy sweetness, creamy body. This is a rare Kenya that makes incredible SO espresso, if you roast it right (FC-FC+). Brazil Carmo de Minas - Fazenda do Serrado Lighter roasts have nut, caramel and orange rind hints with creamy body. FC+ roasts have chocolate, caramel, dense mouthfeel, minerals in the long finish. Great as SO espresso!
- 2/3: We have three new arrivals today: Java Kajumas Organic Taman Dadar, the first certified-organic Javanese coffee we've offered; a new lot of Yemen Mokha Sana'ani; and Rwanda Wet-Process Robusta, a unique high-grown robusta. I also added a few things to the sale page - some good deals on barely used stuff. And see the new RSS feed "new coffee feed" to keep up to date on arrivals!
- 2/2: We have made a small change to the Shipping Special - we are going to give FedEx Ground Home Delivery a try - so Shipping Special orders will go FedEx Ground Home Delivery - not UPS Ground. FedEx offers Saturday delivery for no extra fee, so we are trying it out a while to see how customers like it. Please let us know how the delivery compares to UPS (good or bad) if you notice a difference and have a moment to drop an email. -Maria
- 1/30: We have been making a number of changes to the website behind the scenes recently, some you may not have noticed. We changed the format of the reviews and the spider graphs, and also the way the big green coffee list works, with short descriptions of all the coffees available, and a drop down menu so you can customize the view of the list. These changes have been possible because the coffee reviews are now served to the website by a database (before they were static html pages). Another change along this line is a new rss feed called "new coffee feed" - which will give you a list of coffees recently added. You can subscribe to this rss feed and see new coffees when they get posted. Tom intends to start using the weblog a bit differently - sort of a "Tom's Coffee Corner".- Maria
- 1/28: New coffees just keep coming. We have two Kona coffees to offer - a bit earlier this year than other years. With the economy the way it is, I know we will not sell a huge amount of expensive coffees, but for Kona fans, this is going to be a good year. Skip and Rita Cowell's coffee is back with the Hawaii Kona XF -Kowali Farm Typica, a classic Kona, big and sweet. Skip and Rita placed first in the Kona Cupping Competition this year with this coffee. Hawaii Kona Lehuula Farm is a new Kona farm for us this year, owned by Bob Nelson. This coffee placed in the top 10 in the cupping competition and makes a nice single origin espresso. Also just added are: Guatemala El Injerto 100% Bourbon - a farm we have carried for many years, a classic Bourbon; Bolivia FTO SHG EP Caranavi, a lively, light-bodied, bright, dynamic coffee; and Brazil Cerrado DP Fazenda Aurea, a balanced coffee with great body with lots of espresso potential.
- 1/23: And just last night I added three new decafs that could not be more different from each other: Brazil Cerrado WP Decaf, a decaf with good body to drink straight or use in a blend; Sumatra Lintong Nihota KVW Decaf, carmel sweetness and rustic earth ; and Ethiopia Dry-Process Sidamo WP Decaf, a bright lively decaf with citrus notes.
- 1/21: We have 5 new arrivals, and you can read more about them using the list below. With the new list functions, the latest arrivals are expanded to show their brief flavor description. Guatemala San Jose Pinula -La Trinidad is a small-farm lot with distinct chocolate bittersweets and nice body. Panama Boquete Lerida Estate Peaberry ... well, old-timers at Sweet Maria's know this coffee well, we have loooked forward to its arrival each season. Colombia Huila Valencia (1 Star) is a uncelebrated lot with no great "provenance" but a really nice cup (and a great price). Rwanda Gkongoro Nyarusiza has arrived again, the coffee we placed #2 with in the national SCAA roaster competition. And a very nice decaf, Peru FTO Norte WP Decaf, is available now.
- 1/20: Just in time for Inauguration Day - the USPS shipping options have flaked out! It is not that big a deal - but the standard Flat Rate box is no longer appearing as an option as it should - folks see Priority Mail and Priority Mail Large Flat Rate box. For now - if you want USPS flat rate shipping - select the Large Flat Rate box and we will down grade your shipping if appropriate. We'll get this fixed as soon as possible. - Maria
- 1/13: Our new Espresso Workshop #1 -Ophiolite blend is selling so well, I couldn't be more pleased. It seems people understand the inspirational concept behind these espresso "editions," which we offer only as long as the specific ingredient coffees are available. So with that, we are ready to roll out #2! This is dynamic, sparkling-bright espresso in the West Coast style: Espresso Workshop #2 -Auriferous Espresso. Auriferous? We are staying with our geologic theme, and it means "gold-bearing." I thought it suited this blend perfectly. Read more about the new blend.
- 1/9: We have several new arrivals. Peru FTO San Ignacio Cajamarca is here, balanced, sweet, with milk chocolate roast tones and soft pear-like fruit notes. Bali Organic "Blue Krishna" Kintamani is quite different from our last lot; it is a wet-processed coffee with a cleaner cup profile and more high-toned flavors overall. And Sumatra Takengon Classic returns, the coffee we formerly called Classic Mandheling, with that brutish, low-acid, heavy-bodied cup, spice, ripe fruit, and a dark tonal range.
- 1/5: Welcome back! We have big email problems! What a great way to start the new year.... grrr. It seems that we were not getting emails sent through the website contact form. If you have sent us a message in the last week through the website form - please resend it. It will take us a couple of days to catch up with all messages - but if you have not heard from us - please resend the email just to be sure that we got it and can respond. Maria
