Three new wonderful coffees sure to please the senses. The Burundi from the Gahahe washing station was requested by a customer who had tried it and we went ahead and bought plenty of this microlot. Washed Burundi coffees at their best, like this one, offer nice body and mouthfeel and a cupping profile akin to high-grown Yirgacheffes. We're roasting it on the light side to accentuate the orange and bergamot spectrum. This super-clean lot came in GrainPro packaging as well as the burlap sack, a sign that the producers think as highly of it as we do.
Blawan Estate is a huge, quasi government-run producer of some of the East Java region's finest coffee, traditionally wet-processed. The Mountain Water decaffing processing has had very little adverse impact on the cup character...nice body, still plenty of fruit and quite sweet.
Fazenda Boa Sorte hails from Campos Altos, Minas Gerais, and the family-run enterprise of Junior and Betania Acevedo. This natural process coffee, comprising Tupi and Red Catuai varietals, is fantastic for single origin espresso.
