We've been having all kinds of wacky adventures this summer, but we've been super jazzed about all the new coffees that keep coming in. As Josh posted last week, the Sumatra Blue Batak Tarbarita Peaberry is back, and actually Tom happens to be out that way as we speak. Also, don't forget to check out the newer Guatemala offerings from Finca El Tambor and Finca La Soledad, two differently rad coffees.
Hey Shrub Friends,
Just a heads up that the Rwanda Fair Trade Rushashi Duhingekawa Womens Coop stock is running low. There will no longer be Bulk Grain-Pro packages available but there is a very limited supply of vac-packs that can still be picked up. Get it while the getting is good.
We've got that New Jack Swing today, the Ecuador El Guabo -Teofilo Jimenez Microlot was gone in a flash, so we've flipped the script and have yet another new addition from Ecuador:
The cup is marked by the same caramelized sugar sweetness evident in the aromatics, accented with vanilla. The lighter roast has mild stone fruits. Full City roast has an interesting savory quality, a touch of cedar, with a good sweet/bittersweet balance.
The cup is vividly bright, with strong honey-lemonade flavors, red berry, toasted nut, and praline. It's quite sweet, but not in the typical wet-process Costa Rica way. The body is dense, thick. It definitely reveals itself as a true "honey coffee," a "miel" or pulp natural process.
