Meet Jin our head roaster. He's been with us for two years now. We sure do appreciate him around here, not just for the consistently great coffee he roasts, but because of the great person he is. Next time you enjoy a cup of Sweet Bloom, raise your cup to Jin.
We're thrilled to offer a very unique coffee from Elkin Guzman! He is a brilliant agronomist with an innovative spirit - a powerful combination for producing incredible coffee. This particular variety is called catiope, and Elkin soaked the de-pulped fruit with panela syrup during fermentation. The syrup doesn't soak in to the seed to make the coffee sweeter, but the sugar does aid in the microbial break down of the fruit. The result is a coffee that scores about 3 points higher than the typical washed processed catiope. Elkin's got something special going on at his farm El Mirador, and we are glad to be a small part of it.
We'll soon be offering farm specific lots of pink bourbon - the first, from Edgar Motta's farm, Buena Vista! His lot was a stand-out on our recent visit to Huila - intensely aromatic with tropical fruit, candied lemon and red apple. Prepping for the barista comps this year, we had a small portion air-freighted ahead of the rest coming by boat. We also submitted a sample to Coffee Review and are stoked to see it score highest in the latest article with 94 points! http://www.coffeereview.com/new-coffee-roasting-companies-carry-third-wave-torch/ AVAILABLE EARLY MARCH!
