Greetings friends and coffee lovers around the world!! I know it’s been a while since we posted, but we have been very busy, and have exciting news to share.
First, on the new coffee front, we have a couple of beautiful coffees available, now. For those of you who love Hawaiian coffee, we have a gorgeous Ka’u Prime. Ka’u is the region of the big island, just to the South of the Kona district. The climate, soil and elevation are identical to the Kona area, and during the World of Coffee show, here in San Diego, in April, I had the opportunity to taste several Ka’u coffees and (IMHO) they were better than the Konas. While not an inexpensive coffee, it is a great treat. We bought a small amount to start and we’ll be able to get more if the interest is there. This coffee is medium roasted, and available as a one-pound minimum order, but we are happy to split it into two half-pound bags, upon request.
Additionally, we have taken stock of an organic Peruvian coffee from the San Ignacio region of Cajamarca. It’s really amazing, and has notes of toffee, caramel, a slightly fruity and sweet acidity, and rich finish. This is also medium roasted to maintain it’s beautiful characteristics. This is a “must-try” coffee and will be available in half-pound, full pound as well as two or five-pound bags for those looking for a higher level of achievement. Both of these new coffees are available now on the David’s Roasting site – www.davidsroasting.com.
And now for the other exciting news…
David’s Roasting will be moving – not far – but if you’ve been following the Undersea Adventures of Jacques Café, you know that flooding during heavy rains has been an ongoing problem on our street. Now it will be someone else’s problem!!
We are moving David’s Roasting just a few blocks down Hancock Street to the old Hancock Café. After we get the roasting shop up and running, our plan is to open a small café, not unlike Java Garden in the front half of that space. So not only will you be able to get your beans freshly roasted, but you can have a drink while you’re there! What could be better? The café will take a couple more months, but we’re excited about the new venture. We’re hoping not to have a lapse in roasting ability, and we’ll try to ensure everyone’s orders are fulfilled! Stay tuned for more information!
