DR Congo washed is back

by badbeard2 25. January 2023 17:09

 DR Congo Organic Kivu Virunga was one of our most popular washed coffees last year; very Kenya-like in complexity and aromatics. Harvested/processed September-December 2022, so super fresh.

Happy Holidays!!!! Peace love and joy, and a nice cuppa joe

Badbeard's elves wish you all the best for the holidays and New Year. WE CAN DO THIS

Also nice to have a luscious Rwanda organic coffee back in the mix. There are too many special, small-lot tasty nuggets to mention, and as always, if you let me choose for you in the Special du Jour Boutique tab, you will not be disappointed.

OMG Kenya Wahundura.AB

by badbeard2 24. October 2022 23:12

Dayum, this Kenya Wahundura AB is an amazingly complex, sweet-as-syrup and classic blackfruits bomb. Very impressed!

Grab some if you like Kenya/East Africa. Also forthcoming is Kabingara AA, another stellar Kenyan from Kirinyaga County.

An appreciation of Painted Lady Coffeehouse

by badbeard2 5. October 2022 17:27

You have seen my pic of my favorite human bean Jill Younce in my website rotator for 10+ years, which is how long Painted Lady Coffeehouse existed until Sept. 30, 2022. PL became a centerpiece of Milwaukie community life, just the way it's supposed to happen when a generous and talented shop owner shares her spirit and goodies with the public. In the course of supplying thousands of lbs. of coffee in weekly installments, I  got to spend loads of time with Jill and her excellent staff and lively customers....not to mention all the food and treats I consumed along the way. Jill is a phenomenal cook and amazing person whose friendship I will cherish forever. We wish her the best as she goes forward in her life...she has made me a much better person with every hug and omelet and pastry.

The Hello Cafe will be taking over the reins from Jill in early October, and while the emphasis will be mostly delish sandwiches, Badbeard's will continue to provide the java. We know it is a good fit and needless to say, big shoes to fill! Love you Jilly Beans!!!!! thanks for everything....jk
