Best at the light to medium roast levels. Light roasts themselves have a very sweet citric upfront, hints of floral in the aromatics with a little hint of darker toned contrast, nutty/cocoa/spice. A pinch of fruit as the cup cools but more down the citric alley. A little lighter bodied, complex and balanced. A very jazzy, sweet and delicate lighter roast bean with wonderful aromatics. Medium roasts reduce the citric and floral, smoother cup building a bit more body and showing more of what we classically think of Asian coffees, bolder with some spice notes. Assuming you are on the lighter side of a medium roast, you still get nice balance of tones in the cup, a strong medium roast to dark roast points, the coffee is much flatter, strong semi-sweet chocolate with herbal spice.

Bolivian Apolo – Cafe Kreyol – Trinidad Indigenous Community
A very nicely balanced cup of coffee. A little hint of acidity upfront providing some floral and soft fruit at the lighter roasts, balanced with a semi-sweet nutty chocolaty factor. Super light roasts risk a little grassy/herbal but it straightens out at a city+ (medium) and holds up as dark as you want to take it. The darker you go, the more body and edgy chocolate the cup will pick up, once you hit 2nd crack, expect some smoke and roasty tones to compliment the nutty/chocolaty factor.

Nicaraguan RFA Selva Negra – Honey Processed
New 2024/25 Crop!
A nice medium to dark roast more potent Nicaraguan offering. Medium to full bodied with just a little hint of acidity. Strong Medium roasts were our favorite with thicker more complex malty tones, a sweet edge, hints of herbal spice and almost no acidity, a good daily drinker being very smooth. Darker roasts produce a similar cup but turn it semi-sweet with complimenting smoky tones, not quite as smooth but has the heft many darker roast fans will love.Price: $8.25/lb - 7.05/lbPrice: $8.25 -

Nicaraguan RFA Selva Negra – Washed Processed
A very nice and super fresh batch of their traditional farm aggregate. A little hint of citrus floral upfront balanced with nice complex malty tones. Great everyday drinker at a medium roast, balanced with a sweet edge. A heftier cup at the darker roasts and equally as tasty, fuller bodied with strong malty and smoky tones but still retains that sweeter edge to it.

Papua New Guinea – Carpenter Estates – Bunum Wo – Kula Peaberry
Similar to the Sigri coffee but with just a pinch of brightness and no fruitiness, very clean in its profile. Smooth, rich and chocolaty with some spice note accents. Most would call it a pretty sweet chocolaty cup with a bit of spice. Very smooth cupping this year with minimal herbal tones or earthiness. Medium bodied with a sweeter edge, a cup almost anyone would enjoy. Kind of like a Sumatra coffee without all the earthy funk. Best served in the medium to dark roast levels but some will find joy at lighter roast points with a longer setup.

Yemen Mocca – Pearl of Tehama – Lot 83 Natural
A wonderful old world natural filled with hints of floral/citric, rustic-chocolate, spice and a pinch of fruitiness. Compared to previous lots, these beans do have a little brightness in them, not high acidity, but not nearly as flat as some we have seen in the past. A rounded cup with medium brightness and body. Citric, floral, red-fruit, chocolate, earth & spice are the dominate tones. The citric/floral/fruit will be accentuated with lighter roasts. Chocolate, spice, earth with darker roasts. A lovely complex old world natural that brings your tongue back to the roots of coffee itself. We preferred the cup at light to medium roasts best. It has great chocolate tones at the fuller roast levels but a bit flat with more neutral chocolate notes. Having a hint of crispness and a touch of fruit at the light-medium roast levels gave it the balance we though it deserved.

Zambia Kateshi Estate AA – Washed Processed
New Crop! Regular Price $8.79/Lb
A wonderful season for the Zambia washed. Good clean cup profile making it pretty tasty from light to dark roasts. We found the lighter side of a medium roast to be our favorite. Fuller bodied cup with a sweet lemony crispness balanced with a chocolaty dark tone, hints of nuttiness and spice in the aftertaste. Similar to a Rwanda/Burundi/Kenya but with a bit more body and less herbal spice. Lighter roasts accentuate the brighter more floral/fruity tones, a bit more showy of a cup with its brighter characteristics but not as chuggable, can pull a little herbal balance. If you cannot tolerate a bit of citric crispness, darker roasts are the way to go, mutes up most of the brighter cup features presenting a real big bodied, smoky, complex and very dark toned cup of coffee.Price:Price: Original price was: $8.79.$7.79Current price is: $7.79.$8.79/lb$7.79/lb
