Hey June! Have we got a box for you!
Brasil. Caatinga, Planalto de Bahia. These are very distinctive, unusual coffee beans of the Peaberry variety. They are smaller and denser, more packed with flavor than other varieties. Most Brasilian coffees are seen as being very good for medium roast with a smoother, lighter flavor, but these beans suit our dark roast style very well. Try them and tell us what you think!
Colombia. Huila, ASOBOMBO Co-Op. This is a special selection of beans from over 170 young producers who have brought together an amazing combination of Caturra (very typical for the region), Bourbon (unusual for the region) and Geisha (truly spectacular, rare within the coffee world) varieties to make this incredibly smooth coffee offering. We are already getting rave reviews for this coffee from our customers, and we hope you like it as much as we do!
Ethiopia. Guji, Dawa Basin. This region has produced some of our favorite coffees. Regular customers may remember that we recently featured an Ethiopian Guji coffee from the Mt. Kayon Farm, and this one is even more unique and special. In the Dawa Basin, there are still a lot of coffee trees that grow wild in the firests, so some of the farmers have been transplanting wild seedlings and cultivating them alongside their longer-standing crops at altitudes around 2000 masl (that's Jamaica Blue Mountain kind of elevation). The combination of flavors is truly unique and we may just make this our staple coffee for the rest of the year.
Honduras. Copan, CAFICO Co-Op. This coffee is not only a delicious, smooth, very drinkable coffee, but it is also emblematic of a new wave of young coffee entrepreneurs who are taking coffee to the next level as a force for economic and social change. Over 350 young growers contributed to this selection from their 2021 crops, in an effort to demonstrate their pride in and dedication to growing world class coffee.
