and Tukundane Peaberry

Try one of these unique microlots today.

The fancy decafs are back from their voyage to Mexico. Cupped them today and they are quite nice. The Sumatran, in fact, outcupped a regular Sumatran we had on the table today for approval. Reminder that these are Mountain Water Processed decafs (MWP vs SWP)

Yellow Bourbon Brazil

Special Prep Lintong from Sumatra

These will be available out of our warehouse in St. Paul and Continental Terminals (after 3/17).

We took delivery of our first container of newcrop Tanzanian Peaberry Songea this week and it is delicious! This coffee has a great nose, and flavors of fine olive oil, floral, green apple, winey acidity, etc. Yum!
Our item number of this lot is #1104. It will go fast (140 bags at current--already half gone!).

A little about this coffee:
It hails from the Mbeya region of southern Tanzania, near the town of Vwawa. It's grown at 1500+ meters and all comes from smallholders.

Our next Songea is a Jan shipment (just cupped and approved the preship today) and we also have a mixed box of microlot Tanzies on the way, too. Should be a great year for these coffees!

The newcrop Brazil FTO Coopervitae is now in. Call today to get your on the spot, or get them into your position. This will be the only delivery of this coffee for us this year. Thanks.

For those of you who had it last year, you'll appreciate that the new PNG Kunjun has arrived--just today! For those who have not had it, you must!
This coffee exhibits exceptional fruit and spice and is beautifully complex.

Details:
Kunjun Estate coffee is processed by the Kigabah Estate in the Western Highlands.

Kigabah Estate operates on a “nucleus estate” model, a large grower (plantation) that acts as a central hub servicing smaller growers and block holders, assisting them with agricultural advice on pruning and fertilizer scheduling, providing transport for cherry, access to cheaper inputs through discounts offered from purchasing large volume and the provision of seedlings.

At 5,500 feet above sea level, in what was once a swamp, coffee is nourished by abundant rainfall and rich nutrients found in the thick, black topsoil. These fertile conditions give Kigabah Estate coffee a juicy acidity, round body and herbal notes reminiscent of black tea tannins. The Kigabah Estate is progressive in its farming practices and environmental practices, and contributes ten percent of its profits to the farming community.
