Latest Favorites

Apaneca El Salvador

This El Salvador from the Apaneca-Ilamatepec Mountain Range is certainly one of our latest favorites. It is a blend from five different lots of coffee that we cupped from origin.

Our notes: Cranberry, mandarin orange, chocolate, sweet, high acidity, good structure.

Item number: 1882

Get it while it's fresh!

P.S. We included this coffee in our recent espresso tasting, and it was fantastic. At a medium espresso roast, we found tons of ripe fruit, caramel, and creamy-smooth body.

Calling All Espressos!!

We have a number of pulped-natural, microlot Brasils. We cupped the arrivals today and recommend them for a truly great espresso blend. These coffees are extremely clean, sweet with cashew and orange notes. We greenies don't shy away from espressos! Stay tuned in the upcoming weeks for a blog of our NEW PULPED-NATURAL MICROLOT BRASIL ESPRESSO "CUPPING." Jamin is going to play with a couple of different roasts and we're going to sip until we can sip no more. We're excited to share our results with you!

The item number for these coffees are:
1859, 1860, 1861, 1862, 1863, and 1735 (non-microlot, but our favorite cup!)
1859-1862 are in GrainPro Bags
Beanologies are up for most of these lots.

Costa Rica Microlots (GrainPro)

They're in! And along with them is a wealth of information. You can find traceability certs and trip notes in our Blog, cup profiles and varietal/farm information in Beanologies, photos in our photo album, and availability on our Offerings Page.

Mixed Box of Indians

Hear me out...

Recently arrived are some of the best coffees that India has to offer, both Arabicas and Robustas. For those of you (you know who you are) who use Robustas for that added body, these are the best you can find. Pricier than what you'll expect out of a Robusta, these coffees are used in competition espressos blends. We also have some interesting single-varietal Arabicas. The IDs of these coffees are 1797-1805. We have some varietal info about them in Beanologies. Let us know if you're interested!

Top Lot Kenyas

We have a shipment of Top Lot Kenyans that just landed in the States. These are most definitely TOP Kenyans! Check out our offerings page for cupping notes for these coffees: 1850-1856. These should be arriving within two weeks. Stay tuned for more information.

Rwanda Bufcoffee

We have an exciting arrival of a Rwandan coffee from Bufcoffee washing station. Mukashyaka Epiphanie, owner of the washing station, is a genocide widow who is working to rebuild the specialty coffee industry in Rwanda and the community where she lives.

This coffee is item #1772 and is a Bourbon varietal

Our cupping notes: Floral nose, sweet, citrus, lime, bright bold acidity, grapefruit, coconut.

Check it out today!

Burundi Coffee

They're all in! We have a number of lots of Burundi coffees that have recently arrived. These coffees are balanced, sweet, creamy, and have a tangy acidity but are all very unique! Check out our photo album for some pictures from Jason's recent trip there and you can also find more information in Beanologies.

For those of you looking for relationship coffees, this is an excellent option! Contact your salesperson for more information.

Fair Trade Brasil Competition

Andrew had the opportunity to be a judge for the first ever Fair Trade Certified Cupping Competition and Auction in Brasil. All ten Brasil FT Coops submitted samples to showcase high quality Fair Trade coffees. Here is a link to the 2008 Brasil Fair Trade Certified Cupping Competition Blog: http://fairtradecuppingcompetition.blogspot.com/

These coffees are excellent...rich nuts, chocolate, and sweet fruits! They come in 60k bags and we still have three lots available: 1764, 1767, 1769. Contact your salesperson for more information.

Small farmer Brazils

We've got some smokin new Brazils I wanted to alert you about: check out #1734 and #1735 on the offering list. Both are from small, family farms.
We should be getting a beanology up on these in the next few days. There aren't alot of these, so you must act quickly.

Contact your sales person for the deets!

ACE certified Sallies

We've got these ACE-certified Salvadors in vacuum-sealed packages. What is an ACE-certified coffee you ask? It's a coffee that went through the Cup of Excellence program, but didn't make it to the final internet auction. However, it passed through the national jury and reached the international jury.
You should expect an exceptional cup out of this coffee and with the great varietals out of Salvador (think bourbons and pacas), it should really perform well.
These are vacuum-sealed and boxed in 50kg packages.
It's our #1610 on the offering list and here are our notes: Bright, sweet, chocolate, brown sugar, syrupy body.
