Sometimes the first sip of a new coffee makes us giddy. The complexity in this bean is astounding. The tasting notes read like a Sauterne or a top notch Washington Riesling. Apricots and peaches abound. Smells like wild strawberries had a fling with the raspberry bush and that combo is what emerges on first sip. There is a lot of acidity but not in a sour or tart way — very crisp. The finish is extremely long and fruity. Extremely limited quantity.

Funky, fun and fresh! Hold on to your seat, this is about as bizarre as it gets for coffee! This bean reveals leather, tobacco and some slight bittersweet tones. There are subtle spices like cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg that creep in the finish, especially as it cools. In addition to a distinct pungent aroma, the roasted beans smell like peanut butter.

A surprisingly fickle bean that challenges the roaster! When handled properly and with a delicate touch, fabulous nutty flavors emerge – with almond being predominant. Hints of milk chocolate, citrus, caramel. A balanced and bright cup. This is our House Coffee and we are very proud of it indeed. It is a great, not-demanding, first-cup-in-the-morning coffee.

This unique espresso blend combines top quality beans from the 2008 crop to create a balanced cocoa-musty-nuttiness with a distinct bittersweet-grilled pineapple tone. The fragrance is chocolaty and powerful. The clean, strong flavors linger on the palate and compliment milk-based drinks.

This is a slightly unusual Kenya. The nose is floral and with a bit of citrus. The familiar grapefruit/blackcurrant combo that is typical of a Kenyan is evoked but what is most prevalent is a bergamot flavor. The dark chocolate backbone is present with a hint of washed out blueberry. The first impact reminds one of an odd Earl Grey tea.
