Fall is upon us, and that means coffee consumption is on the upswing, just as current stocks are getting scarce at the end of our seasonal year. Centrals are all but gone, but we are seeing some late-harvest crop from Ethiopia and Sumatra, and new production, just shipped - or about to, from Bolivia, Peru and Mexico. Other coffees, new to us, are shipping through spring of next year. Happy to say, we have the opportunity to obtain a greater quantity of the Bolivian Cenaproc and the Brazil Poco Fundo, both of which were well received. Also looking forward to a decent quantity of the Uganda Bugisu again this year; what a great coffee - considering what it takes to get a bag of coffee through harvest and to processing in Uganda, it makes the beans even sweeter. We picked up some very special Nicaragua water-processed decaf in the past few weeks, and it's truly an amazing coffee - not just for an organic, but for a decaf. Okay, so you don't drink decaf. Try some: it may change your mind. More Mexico Chiapas Udepom WP Decaf is en-route, and due to arrive later this month. We expect to expand our decaf list over the winter, in order to offer beans from a growing list of new organic and fair-traded decafs, now coming online in small quantities. New on the list to many of you, are the Ethiopian Lekempti, and the Costa Rica Pastora (Tarrazu). Deep and sweet, and bright and sweet, respectively. Well, it really depends on how much fire is involved. Glad so many of you were loving the PNG Waka Jawaka, it took a while to catch on! We have sold out of that weird and wild coffee, and look forward to seeing it next year.
It's that time of year to perfect the "blend"...we've been having fun with the concept around here! Mix it up.
