New Coffees

Hey Coffee Friends,

This week we have been testing some new coffees that we recently received. We got some more of the Guatemala Oriente DP that has been so popular this month, and we still have some of our Organic Ethiopian, which has a fruitiness that is similar to the Guatemalan, though more subtle. We may not get any more from this particular crop of the Ethiopian, so if you would like to try it, now is your chance.

Here is a rundown of our new offerings:

Java Kajumas Organic Taman Dadar: A full bodied coffee with a flavor that one of our friends described as "woody." If you like your coffee to have a certain heaviness, this would be a good one to try. Our importer said that this is the first certified organic coffee they have seen from the island of Java.

Brazil Daterra Farms Yellow Bourbon: This is a very pleasant coffee, smooth and mellow with a hint of nuts.

Colombia Los Pijaos de Tolima: Colombian coffee tends to give you a straightforward, traditional cup. Colombian began actively marketing its coffee to the rest of the world half a century ago, so this is what we have all come to think of as a "cuppa joe." If you want something comfortable and familiar to start your day and don't want to be distracted with exotic flavors, this may be the coffee for you.

Coffee Tasting

We got a new shipment of coffee this week. One of the fun parts of our job is tasting all the new roasts before we put them out for all of you. It's crazy trying to put words to a taste...is it woody, grassy, earthy? How do you describe that taste?A friend joined us yesterday for this. As a non-dedicated coffee drinker, she had a new perspective on tastes and words. Very helpful. Check back soon for the new coffee posting.
