El Salvador Cascara Coffee Tea (farm gate) $7.70 add to cartLimit 1 pound
It's tea. Uh, but it's coffee. It's the skin of the coffee fruit, dried. No need to roast it (although you could), just steep and brew like herbal tea. It's great for iced tea, not unlike herbal fruit tea blends with flavors of hibiscus, tamarind, passion fruit, plum, raisin. Benefits from a little honey or other sweetener.

Aged Sumatra Lintong Peaberry '07 Crop (farm gate) $5.90 add to cart$11.21 add to cart$25.67add to cart$48.97add to cart$90.86add to cart
Aged coffees are exotic, and might be a bit of an acquired taste. The first sip of an aged coffee might come as a shock, until your taste buds adapt themselves to the extreme flavors: intense, deep, savory, woody, syrupy, rustic! The cup is so intense ... you need time to recover from the first sip. Immediately the coffee seems peppery, hot, with some strong charry notes, but they fade into dark syrupy sweetness. Savory-sweet balance comes through, food flavors not found in coffee, dark liquor syrupy notes, herb and mint, clove, aromatic woody tastes, strawberry sauce, spiced rum. The aftertaste is where this coffee is so complex, and I can literally sit for 5 or ten minutes after the coffee is off my palate, and sense different complex arrangements of flavor. Full City to Full City+, allow 2-4 day's rest.

This is the decaf version of our Shoye Union Sidamo coffee. We sent it for custom decaffeination and it came back great! It's a fantastic decaf cup, very sweet, caramel with melted milk chocolate notes, butter-rich body, mildly fruited layers of flavor. I found the creamy mouthfeel to be one of the most outstanding features. It sets this part from other decafs and other non-decaf Ethiopia coffees as well. I can't write caramel and milk chocolate with enough emphasis. I get these sweet notes all through the roast range. City+ to Full City roast.

It has been quite a while since we have stocked a CO-2 decaf, but I was impressed with this Peru lot, a Fair Trade and Organic coffee. Nice brightness in the lighter roasts and very clean cup flavors. Noteworthy is the absence of fruity scents found in Ethyl Acetate decaf coffees. The wet aroma follows the same trend, only a bit more pungent and aggressive at FC to FC+ roast level. I find the lighter roast cups to have a very clean, clear cup. City+ to Full City+.

Sidikalang is a city and district immediately to the west of Lake Toba, the massive crater lake in North Sumatra. We bought this lot for the nice cup character and sent it for custom decaffeination. The aroma reminds me of Cajeta, a really delicious Mexican caramel sauce. There is also a mango and papaya fruited tone to the aroma, which comes out in the cup flavors. The cup is a culmination of the aromatics; that same Cajeta sweetness, scented wood, mulling spice mix, ans slight fruit (papaya-mango) in the light roast. As it cools there's a banana bread flavor that comes out in the City + roast level. But it is the FC to FC+ that has that classic Mandheling cup; low acid, milk chocolate, body. City+ to FC+ roast.

Uganda Organic Bugisu WP Decaf $5.85 add to cart$11.12 add to cart$25.45add to cart$48.56add to cart$90.09add to cart
This decaf is from the same lot we offer as a non-decaf coffee, a nice Organic lot we happened across. This decaf cups a bit like an Indonesia coffee, and can take a bit more roast too. It's sweet and has a fairly burly and substantial aroma character. Lighter roasts had a mild milk chocolate note, and the dense body really jumped out at me. Chocolate notes dominate at FC+ roast, which was actually my favorite here. With hints of dark fruit in the background and a definite rustic hint to the cup, the aftertaste has a very nice, intense bittersweet chocolate character. It's a hefty, weighty coffee on the palate, something I don't find often in decafs from Africa. City to Full city+.

Fruity, vinegary, musty, ack! Here is an example of unclean fruity flavors. Our thumbs down selection for the next few months, this is a textbook case of processing taint. Heavy body, cloying fruity notes, slightly rotten coffee cherry flavor, musty scent and flavors in the finish, medicinal. City+ shows the taint the best. Try to disguise it with FC+ roast too. You can't.

Green Coffee Sampler Packages
*

Trying a sampler is the best way in my opinion to get started home roasting. Especially if you are not sure what coffee to choose. We can not promise a particular origin in the sampler. In the 4 Pound and 8 Pound Samplers we try to include a coffee from every coffee growing continent, and a range of processes. Some folks have suggested that having a larger quantity of a single bean that takes a range of roasts is a better way to learn roasting - I think getting a range of flavors so you can start to see the difference origin makes is better. The choice is up to you really.

You will be prompted to choose the size of sampler and coffees you want in the sampler - all regular, all decaf, half decaf/half regular, or espresso.

The 4 Pound Sampler:
four great coffees, 1 Lb. of Each

$19* (+ 4 Lbs. shipping)

 

...a careful selection from Indonesia, Africa, South America and Central America,
(our choice) -1 pound of each.

Sweet Maria's Green Coffee Cupping Reviews are ratings of every coffee we offer based on the pre-shipment cuppings that determine what we will buy, and the arrival cuppings when the shipment actually shows up at our shop. What makes Sweet Maria's unique is our rigorous daily cupping practices used to weed out great coffees from so-so ones; every coffee on our list represents many that were rejected! (See Tom's Cupping Log). You can access the review for any coffee by clicking on the name in the price list above, or you can follow the links below. Please refer to our Reference Page for definitions of terms and cupping numbers, and the Roast Pictorial Guide for roast information.
