With supplies of our Sumatra Bodhi Peaberry and Honey Process Mandheling dwindling we thought it provident to bring back the Sidikalang (Sumatra) Tabu Jamu, which we enjoy drinking as much as saying over and over. Arrival 11/12/13 with a fresh stash of the exceptional Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Kochere. The latter is Grade 1 (we've had Grade 2 previously) and quite similar in cup profile to the vaunted Blue Nile Yirg (supply down to about 15 pounds...first come first serve!)which so many have raved about to me.

My crystal ball tells me that we are getting two hot javas this week, a tremendous, off-the-charts fruit bomb lot of Ethiopia washed Sidamo and two new Mountain Water Process decafs, from Guatemala and Brazil. Three promising samples...two washed Yirgacheffes and a Harar... from our old friends at Dominion Trading were roasted yesterday and we'll let them rest a fw days prior to cupping and reporting back.
Our Yirgacheffe from exporter Andulina is drinking beautifully right now, as a single origin 'spro or drip. The new crop Sumatra Tabu Jamu is very intense and aromatic, and makes great cold brew.

I've been a long-standing customer at Market of Choice on SW Terwilliger Blvd @ Taylor's Ferry and thanks to their persistence (and the most amazing boost from Andrea Spella, whose coffees are also selling great there and all their other stores in Oregon!) TOMORROW will have the new Ethiopia YCFCU Yirgacheffe and excellent Sumatra "Tabu Jamu" in the coffee bins. Please check it out! Great store and VERY supportive of the local roasting community here.
More coffees to come...rolling out some of the Deep Cello Coffee line there as well next week!
Cello-playing/cupping demo soon!
