April 2007 Archives

Closed on Friday

In observance of Good Friday (April 6), Cafe Imports will be closed.
Please plan your orders accordingly.

Jamaican!

I have c. 250# of Jamaican that just arrived this a.m.
It's $20/lb.
It'll go fast. 800.278.5065

CoE Brazils

CoE Brazils are here and ready to go. We have lots #3 and #16 available. For information on these lots, visit the CoE website at http://www.cupofexcellence.org.

They came to us vacuum sealed and boxed this year. We will not be taking them from the vacuum sealed bag to package in our small burlap bags. As a result, the weight of the split bags for the Brazils is slightly more, at 26.65#.

CoE Colombia

The CoE Colombia auction is tomorrow (Thursday 12th). We will be bidding on a couple of different lots. Keep an eye on the CoE website to see what we end up purchasing.
These coffees are from the north of Colombia, and exhibit great body, along with nice caramel and chocolate notes.

CoE Colombia

The auction is over and we were high bidder on lots #3 and #4. We also will be buying some of lot #18 from the high bidder. I will update with the ETA of these coffees once I have that information. Check out the CoE website to read more about the farms that grew these fantastic coffees.
Thanks.

Carbon Neutral flights

If you are attending the SCAA conference in Long Beach, please be sure to make your flight carbon neutral by hitting this link .
It's a $6 fee, and is calculated on an average travel distance by all SCAA participants.
If you are interested in becoming a carbon neutral company, you can also find more information on the Trees for the Future website.
FYI, coffee purchased from Cafe Imports is already carbon neutral, so is very doable for most roasters. Check it out!
