(a background to our namesake)
Updates and News:
05/17/12 - Rwanda Musasa Dukunde Kawa is on our green coffee offering page. This coffee cupped as well as several other African coffees (some from Rwanda) that were much higher priced. It is truly a great value for those that like the intense florals and sweetness unique to African coffees.
05/11/12 - Costa Rica "Hacienda La Minita" Tarrazu is back on our offering page. This new crop coffee goes through the finest processing methods available; it shows in that there are nearly zero defects (actually, zero that we could find).
Other incomings include a Rwanda from the Dukunde Kawa Cooperative, and a Guatemalan "La Providencia". Valic will have these posted soon when the descriptions are complete. 05/06/12 Behmore roaster update: They are starting to become available to distributors. We're told to expect a shipment of them around May 22nd.
Kona coffee is back in stock and available on our green coffee offering page.
05/04/12 - Out of Costa Rica Hacienda La Minita Tarrazu until late next week. We'll be getting in some new crop at that time. Also, more Kona is on the way and should be available early next week.
Stay tuned for a really nice Rwanda due to arrive next week also. Will provide details soon. 04/24/12 Out of Fazenda Ipe Amarelo (Brazil)
and no more Uganda Kabum!
Other news....we're working on a new signature blend. It
is intended for Hario and pour-over filter type brewing. More
news coming soon...
04/06/2012 Just in - The long awaited arrival
of PNG
Sigri Estate, and Colombia
Tolima Supremo. Both are very fine coffees.
04/05/12 - We'll be hosting another Coffee Tasting on Saturday, April 14th from 2:00-4:00. Valic will be choosing two of what he thinks are the finest coffees we have in stock (to be announced), plus we'll be pulling shots of our Gold Nugget Espresso Blend. As usual, local pick-up for green coffee will be available. We'll also have the coffees being show-cased available in both green and roasted form. Please come visit us under the tasting-tent that will be set up in the parking lot!
04/02/12 - Guatemala Carrizal added to our green coffee sheet. This is a nice coffee from the Antigua region of Guatemala offered at a great price. Other arrivals, including PNG Sigri, to be posted this week. We have lots of exceptionally nice coffees coming in!
03/26/12 - Behmor roaster update: We're told to expect them in mid-April.
We've added Hario drip brewers to our products page. With a little practice, amazing results are achievable using Hario pour-over drippers.
Besides the Sigri PNG coffee we're expecting within a week or two, we will also be getting in some Amaro Gayo (organic) from Ethiopia. This is truly an exceptional Ethiopian coffee you won't want to miss out on. Expected arrival date for this is July (yes, a long ways out, but it will be worth the wait).
03/18/12 -Two new Colombians just posted - both are Excelso's; one is a co-op coffee that came to us in Grain-Pro lined straw bags; the other is from the Jardin area of Colombia: " Alma del cafe", which means "Soul of Coffee". Also posted is the Sumatran Mandheling we've been anxiously awaiting.
Coming Soon:
03/14/12 - For Locals - come to our coffee tasting this Friday, March 16th. Our shop's roastmaster will be holding the event. Somehow he's going to do this and run production roasts at the same time; don't ask me how, but he's good and you won't be disappointed. Panama Finca Lerida Estate has been selected for the tasting. Feel free to stop by between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm to sample the roast. For special requests, specify "I want my coffee brewed using a Hario V60 dripper", otherwise it comes out of a standard filter brewer. Customer pick-ups will also be available during this time.
Incoming coffee for this week is a very, very nice Sumatran Mandheling G1. It is not an estate, as most Sumatrans are not, but it is one of the nicest Sumatrans we've ever had the pleasure of finding and the price is very reasonable considering the quality of these beans. Valic will post it some time this weekend. 03/03/12 - Just in: Daterra Farms Sweet Blue. This is new crop that just came in. It comes to us in vacuum sealed packaging to preserve freshness and to protect it from moisture change and possible contaminates on it's journey to our warehouse.
New Crop El Conquistador just came in also and has been added to our green coffee offering sheet.
Also in but not yet posted (we're looking for Valic) from Mexico: Chiapas Turquesa. This is a very reasonably priced yet very elegant coffee. We'll get it posted very soon.
02/19/12 Our shop will be closed next Saturday, Feb 25th, so no customer pick-ups will be available. We are planning on being there Sunday, the 26th from 1:00-2:00. Local pick-ups can come by during this time.
02/07/12 Monsooned Robusta and Mysore Nuggets (Extra Bold) have been uploaded to our home roasting green coffee bean page.
01/31/12 Good News! Josuma Monsooned Malabar is finally in stock. There are many monsoon malibar coffees out there, but none compare to the quality of the monsooned coffees from Josuma. The sweetness and crema this coffee produces makes it an excellent component for an espresso blend.
Also in but not yet posted (as soon as Valic has time!), a nice, monsooned robusta which is great for Southern Italian espresso blends, and lastly, India Mysore Nuggets, Extra Bold, will be posted within the next few days.
01/25/12 Behmor Roasters are out of stock. The manufacturer informed us that they will not be available until April as they "can't build them fast enough". Meanwhile we're tyring to get some Hot Top roasters for everybody.
01/18/12 - Costa Rica "Hacienda La Minita" Tarazzu is in stock and on our green coffee offering page. This amazing Central American coffee is available in limited quantities, so check it out!
Coming Soon - Indian Monsooned Malibar from Josuma. We've been out of this for a long time (too long), but should have it back in stock later this month or by early February.
