February 2022 – Kaffa & Junto
Junto Colombia Maca – On paper, this is likely the most exciting coffee on the menu this month. It is a close contender for the 2nd best coffee this month as well. This is Varietal Colombia seed, grown at a staggering 2231 MASL in the Cauca department. The producer for this one is named TioContinue reading “February 2022 – Kaffa & Junto”
January 2022 – CleverCoffee Roasters
We have a new friend this month from a small town called Odder near Aarhus in Denmark. I found this roaster through a subscription that I am a part of which I mainly use to find new roasters. This is the first time it has worked! What amazed me about them was their Brazil. IContinue reading “January 2022 – CleverCoffee Roasters”
December 2021: Kafferaven Per Nordby & April Coffee Roasters
April Kenya Kianimui AA – The coffee I am most excited about this month goes first on the list here. We tried the Peaberry version of this lot a few months ago and it was one of my favorite Kenyan coffees of the year. When Patrik notified me this one was tasting better than thatContinue reading “December 2021: Kafferaven Per Nordby & April Coffee Roasters”
November 2021: Manhattan and Sey Honduras freshies
Manhattan El Salvador Carlos Mendez – Mendez owns a farm called Los Cotuzos located in Ahuachapan. This is a fairly large farm with a decent production size. And considering the size, Mendez is super involved with growing each tree and the processing. This lot was actually commissioned by Manhattan to grow a massive seashell ofContinue reading “November 2021: Manhattan and Sey Honduras freshies”
October 2021 Coffee: Kaffibrugghúsið Sweeties and stunningly unique from Little Wolf
Kaffibrugghúsið Guatemala Los Arroyos – It has been a little while since we got to drink these Icelandic sweethearts, normally the time between using them is quite long due to the high shipping costs and how long it actually takes to get here (note the coffee was roasted 2-3 weeks ago). Here we are again,Continue reading “October 2021 Coffee: Kaffibrugghúsið Sweeties and stunningly unique from Little Wolf”

Junto Guatemala Finca Medina – It was just one month ago, I was so excited that I was using an alternatively processed Guatemala because I hadn’t seen much progress from the Country.

June Coffee: New roaster from Rotterdam! Manhattan Coffee Roasters and SEY <3
Manhattan Colombia Diego Bermudez – So I did not realize this until I started researching Diego Bermudez, but he is the owner of El Paraiso in Cauca, Colombia. This is the farm of one of the most outstanding coffees I have ever had – it was a tropical anaerobic. This coffee is what is knownContinue reading “June Coffee: New roaster from Rotterdam! Manhattan Coffee Roasters and SEY <3”
March Coffee: Kaffibrugghusid and Junto HEAT
Not sure which roaster to geek out over more this month. This month Junto came through so hard with their offerings that I was able to choose three distinct coffees; a couple of you might even have more than three different Junto coffees depending on if you partook in the special add-on coffees from Colombia.Continue reading “March Coffee: Kaffibrugghusid and Junto HEAT”
February Coffee: Ecuador Francisco Vintimilla and Burundi Gaharo Hill
Ecuador Francisco Vintimilla (Putuchio) – Sey Ecuadors are what keep me motivated to continue investing my time in coffee. The flavors and complexity from terroir, advanced picking skills, and processing are like nowhere else in the world. However, they are usually a LOT more expensive than any other coffee so y\’all better appreciate this stuff.Continue reading “February Coffee: Ecuador Francisco Vintimilla and Burundi Gaharo Hill”
