We’ve been a big fan of Indian coffees since we started roasting.

This coffee is from the Ossoor Estates in Manjarabad and is a new find for us.  This crop is the best Indian coffee we’ve had in 5 years.

It has a wonderfully rich body; hints of sweet and warming spices (think cardamom); and a long clean finish.

It is grown between 3,000 and 3,250 feet elevation on a 120 year old farm. The term “nugget” is believed to come from the gold mining that once took place in this region.

We were recently offered a small lot of peaberry PNG from the Kimel farm in the Kuta region.

Normally, two seeds develop inside each coffee fruit. In a small percent of the berries only 1 seed is formed and wraps around the fruit and is called a peaberry. Because of this small size, it must be roasted a little more gently.

This PNG has flavors of sweet citrus, floral and a nice bright finish.

The New crop of Rwandan coffees have finally arrived after a year of anticipation and we are very excited that they are finally here…..
Rwanda has some of the best coffee growing conditions in the world. This coffee is grown on the steep slopes of northern Rwanda’s volcanic mountains, where the rich soil, high altitudes and abundant rainfall give the coffee trees along the mountain slopes the best environment for high quality yield. Our cupping notes best describe this coffee as sweet and smooth with orange/peachy notes and has a long deep finish.

If you’ve not had a cup, come on down and try it before you buy it.

Our annual holiday blend has become our most popular coffee both for our guests and staff. We’ll bring it out again in mid-November and once it’s gone, it’s gone. It’s super fruity with a good percentage of a natural processed Sumatran. This very unusual coffee is cupping with flavors of strawberry jam, lavender and toasted bread (seriously!).

We cupped a lot of coffees from a lot of importers.  This one came from an importer that we have cupped with in New York but from whom we’ve not purchased.  We cupped the Kenyans blind and this one was the clear winner – stunning bright fruit acidity.

Citrus / orange blossom fragrance, with a pleasant fruity brightness, flavors of tangerine and currant, all of which carry through into a sweet finish.

Great Kenyans like this are hard to find and really exciting when you get one like this.

Enjoy!!
