Another big day! …We are offering two Geshas together as the Panama Garrido Gesha Collection: 1/2lb Panama Garrido Gesha Traditional Wet-Process and 1/2lb Panama Garrido Gesha Pulp Natural Process … look for effervescent jasmine in the Wet Process and a fuller body with stone fruit in the Pulp Natural. Check out Tom’s full write-up on this very limited offering. We are also happy to re-stock our Mandheling standard Sumatra Takengon Classic, as most of you know is a heavy-bodied chocolate and spiced cup, good for darker roasting too. Maria
It’s a big day! We are listing El Salvador Peaberry “Aida’s Grand Reserve” (1lb limit)! Please click through to Tom’s full review. Some of you remember this from previous harvest,… juicy mouthfeel with semi-sweet chocolate and Monukka raisin in the cup, this time ranking at a 93 overall score! ! Next is another special preparation coffee, Costa Rica Peaberry-Petite Bean Experiment (2lb limit), with a shifting flavor profile from cherry and plum to brown sugar and syrup. Again, don’t miss the full reviews for details. Last up is a great espresso blend component, the return of Panama Guyami Indian Robusta Rustico with baker’s chocolate in the cup. Also great in a French Press !
Three new coffees to announce: Guatemala Palo Blanco WP Decaf with apple notes, raspberry and clean and bright finish. Next up is the Peru FTO Aparm Coop Typica, a balanced cup with Dutch cocoa and almond. Lastly, we have the new Ethiopia DP Haile Selassie Sidamo, a cleanly fruited cup with cardamom hints. Check out the full review for details on a slightly different dry-process method resulting in a sweet profile with peach, vanilla and mango sweetness.
Three more coffees… ! ! ! Check out the reviews, here’s the rundown: Brazil Cerrado DP Fazenda Aurea… a straightforward Brazil profile, chocolate-laced at darker roasts. Good as a blend base or for espresso preparation. We are adding a new Nyeri coffee: Kenya AA Nyeri Tambaya with grapefruit, jasmine tea and a complexity that gives it very high marks indeed. Last but not least is Yemen Mokha Harazi, a high-grown and fairly clean coffee with rustic accents and dried fruit. This is sweet and for fans of the Ismaili especially. Try it dark as espresso too!
We’re adding an exciting coffee that we had decaffeinated ourselves: Kenya Nyeri Ndiaini-Kiagundo WP Decaf. Read Tom’s blurb for the full review. It’s a combination of Kiagundo and Ndia-ini farm coffees, an effervescent cup with a great fruit aroma and changing fruit tastes in the cup. We’re very excited about this offering and Tom ranks it as the highest point score given to a decaf: above 90!
Happy Election Day! We are adding 3 Brazil coffees today. Here they are: Brazil Daterra Farms - Sweet Yellow, a mix of Bourbon and Icatu cultivars, with a sweet and savory balance of aroma and taste. Try it as a single-origin espresso! Second up is Brazil Organic Nossa Senhora de Fatima, a nice balance of sweet and savory flavors and aroma; fans of Poco Fundo take note. Lastly, we have Brazil Fazenda Vista Alegre Natural Dry, a natural process coffee with a big beefy body and marked low acidity. Check out Tom’s full notes for more.
Lo and behold, there are three new coffees today. Here they are: Kenya Nyeri AA Gichatha-ini with some plum/chocolate sweetness and could be considered for Single Origin espresso. Sumatra Lintong Blue Batak has been a big favorite in the past with hints of spice, molasses sweetness and versatile at a light to dark roast. Last up is another familiar, Costa Rica Don Mayo “La Ponderosa” Bourbon with nut flavors and a sweetness that varies in light to dark roasts. This is also good as a SO espresso.
We’re adding two decafs that were so great caffeinated, we sent them off to be de-caffeinated! Ethiopia Organic Guji Sidamo SWP Decaf and Guatemala La Maravilla SWP Decaf . Note also that Finca La Maravilla is in the Huehuetenango region, and Tom notes a more expanded body in the decaf version of the Guji in the full reviews. Click on through.. Switch to Decaf !?
