New coffees will be arriving in abundance next week...assuming those containers can be found in the vast tracts of real estate in the West Coast ports (THANK YOU SEQUESTER!) Said goodbye to the last of Colombia Excelso today and will be looking to a tasty replacement from the Huila area. Stay tuned!

Badbeard will be trotting off to NYC from Thursday 4/10 thru 4/16 so orders place by noon Wednesday 4/9 will be roasted and shipped that day. We'll resume the party on Wednesday 4/16. Meanwhile excited to be attending my first Camden Yards Orioles game...Baltimore watch out...Detroit Tigers fan in da house.

South America's Fall-Winter harvest cycle still offering the freshest coffees on the planet..new Colombia Narino Excelso now in and rocking it.

Expecting a motherload tomorrow (Wednesday, Jan 15) of stuff including new offerings from Sulawesi (Toraja Grade 1)...sweet, spicy and fragrant and an outstanding Sidama Shilcho washed process, fruity love very akin to some of my recent Yirgacheffes. More Colombia Narino Peaberry to shore up the stash...y'all are cleaning me out, especially in Portland! Thanks!----sincerely, "Heisenbeard"

The Colombia Narino Peaberry in the multi-roast profile is on sale at all 8 Markets of Choice in Oregon thru January 24th. It's a really nice single origin espresso at a 27 second pull at 200 degrees. I've been gluttonously drinking it every morning in my Bona Vita dripper for a week now, love it!

'Tis the season for the freshest harvests originating from South America, especially Peru, Colombia and Brazil. The dreaded Roya seems to have eluded these coffees and they're excellent.

Just in time for the holiday rush exciting new coffees from Brazil (Bobolink), Colombia (Nariño Peaberry), two organic/FT Ethiopians; Sidama natural process(Fura Co-Op) and Yirgacheffe Biloya, Costa Rica Tarrazu Peaberry. C'mon get you some!

Badbeard's has firmly relocated to 12017 NE Sumner St. in Portland, 97220 as of December 2013...if you want to come visit, please contact Justin beforehand! badbeard@badbeardscoffee.com

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.

Two new arrivals Oct. 23, the amazing fruit monster "Aricha" dry process Yirgacheffe, one of the best ever from that bountiful land, and a chocolate bar-in-a-cup "Palo Alto Azul" from Finca Agua Tibia in the Fraijanes Plateau region outside of Guatemala City. The Guat will be available at local Market of Choice in Oregon in the Savories special at the beginning of November.
