Malawi Mapanga AA

This single-origin coffee is grown on one of the finest estates in land locked Malawi, Africa's smallest coffee growing country.  The Mapanga Coffee Estate has about 650 acres located around 4,000 ft altitude in the Tea growing areas of the Southern Highlands of Malawi and is recognized as being a "model" premium coffee estate.  The majority of Malawi's limited coffee production is purchased and consumed in Britain. So the meticulously processed and graded Malawi Mapanga AA has a very limited production.  We are very happy to share this great coffee with you.

Tasting notes:
This cup has a nice heavier body and creamy feel, maintaining its crispness you get a hint of jazz and lighter fruit tones upfront and a real rich smooth caramel/smokey undertone that can turn much stronger into the darker roasts (past/into second crack). There are definite notes of oak aged red wine and chocolate.  

Roasting notes:
This is a complex cup of coffee. The taste will be highly dependant on roast. Good from light to dark. A little more exotic at the lighter roast points. Real big body, buttery and sweet into those darker roasts. Allow for a longer set up time when roasting light. It goes into the second crack quickly so you'll want to keep a close eye in this one.

Rwanda Ruli Mountian

A very fresh new arrival with that awesome new crop brightness.  

Emerging about 5 years ago, Rwanda is now known as one of the finest East African coffees.  Cup quality is consistently high because farmers grow heirloom Bourbon plants at extreme altitude, and bean preparation is uniformly excellent. 

Tasting Notes:
The aroma will perk you right up. An awesome mix of jam and brown sugar. This is one wonderfully complex cup of coffee.  Packed full of flavors that comingle to create one of the better Rwandans we have had through our doors. Bright, crisp and clean with a sparkling rhubarb/berry tone balanced with a lovely baker’s chocolate/brown sugar undertone.

Roasting Notes:
The taste of this cup will be highly dependant on roast. Avoid a real light roast for it will be a little front loaded. Medium to as dark as you want to go. Our favorite was a city Plus but make sure you give it a couple of days to mellow it out.

Kenyan AA Meru "Ntemwene"

This is the new 2012 crop!

All you have to do to tell the quality of this cup is look at the beans.

Very fresh, as a super premium lot should be.

Looks can be deceiving but I think this cup tastes just as good as it looks, if not better.

Kenyan coffees are some of the brightest coffees around, they are always sparkling and the new 2012 crop is no exception. This Meru is a very crisp and clean, complex cup of coffee. If only all Kenyan coffee tasted like this!

Just wait until you grind up these beans, the aromas is almost candy like, very sweet and robust.

Tasting Notes:
The first thing most would notice about this cup is the sparkling floral sweet citrus notes, combined with a medium body and a very balanced sweet milk chocolate undertone, this is a wonderful cup. There is a hint of spice in the aftertaste yet this cup remains silky smooth.

Roasting Notes:
I would avoid light roasts, for the cup with be front loaded with acidity. I like to draw out the roast to a full city for a very nicely balanced cup. If you like it a little darker toned, try taking it just into the second crack.

Mexican Org. Terruno Nayarita Natural Reserve

This is a farm that holds a special place in our hearts.  This coffee is from 100% traceable, directly traded microlots. Each bag is uniquely identified with a bar code and a serial number.  Gathered around an extinct volcano, Cerro San Juan, a committed group of 260 cooperative coffee farmers are working together to produce arguably the best coffee in Mexico.  Terruño Nayarita coffees come from heirloom trees and the word ‘Terruño’ means ‘homestead’.  These are farmers that take great pride in their coffee. This is the top screen-size/grade from the Terruno Nayarita Co-op.

This is the new 2011 crop! Used and won as a single origin espresso in the Mexican barista championship

San Christobal Importers takes great care to find and produce an excellent coffee, making sure farmers use safe, sustainable shade techniques and provide a fair wage to the workers. Check out their webpage; San Christobal.

Tasting Notes:
The Mexicans always taste best fresh as can be, I will tell you; it doesn't get any fresher than this! The aroma is a wondrous mix of sweet berries and buttery nuts.  This cup is medium bodied with a smooth finish.   Baker’s chocolate, candied sweetness, bright acidity, berries and orange make this an outstanding cup of coffee.

Roasting Notes:
You can see the quality in the beans. We recommend a medium roast on this coffee to bring out all the remarkable characters of this cup.  Roasted lighter you will get a more fruity cup and brighter acidity.  Roasted darker and the chocolate notes will be more pronounced.

From the highest altitudes of Mexico, this is what we regularly drink around here.
