This is a Peaberry coffee from Tanzania we picked up. Generally Ethiopians and Kenyan coffees have dominated my seasonal African space so this one is kind of taking it's place. I think it's an interesting blackberry and citric (I get oranges) taste. This is because Ethiopians wont land for another...

I've carried Sumatra, Papua New Guinea, East Timor so mostly all that is left is Java. "all". Being the third store stop on the journey of coffee from Ethiopia (yemen in between) Java is a fairly well known origin. For that they're expensive to buy. Is the cost for me...

This is one of the coffees I bought while on the trip to Nicaragua in February 2017. It replaced the Encanto which was carried last year. I never felt like I "nailed" the Encanto despite it being a great coffee . This is silly "never happy" roaster talk so don't...

After 2000 hours of demoing coffee in grocery stores I can say for certain there is no single style of coffee mentioned more than "breakfast blend". So, here it is. Generally I'm averse to styles, but there's that thing where you give the people what they want and hopefully they'll...

This was our first direct trade coffee. What that means is that we bought this from the farmer , in this case it's his son who has an operation setup in New York called The Pulley Collective. It's a coffee that has gone through several "lots" so it's tastes have...

I take this coffee just shy of the second crack so as to avoid too dominate of a "roast" driven coffee. It's there so no bones about that, but some of the origin is equally as strong. We're looking at an excellent chocolatey espresso with a nice dry finish. Also...

Different Gera but similar! The Gera is back after a strong run in early 2016. I found a "lot" from the same region,city, and station that tasted exceptional and not too far off from the original one. Maybe now is a good time to share that Coffee farms don't do...

Where exactly is East Timor? Indonesia! I know what you're thinking with me and Indonesian coffees. No, it's not that kind of indo coffee where it's all herbal. This one is nice and sweet and even quite clean. Though it's not a Papua New Guinea level of clean, this one...

Stand at very nearly any point in the city of Edinburgh Scotland and you'll see a castle that utterly dominates the sky. The city is known for this castle as it's stood, in part,  since the 2nd century. Being completely destroyed and rebuilt before coffee was first known to make...
