Guatemalan Palo Alto Azul
Received 11/03/2008 1lb. bag $12.99
"Palo Alto Azul" is produced 25 kilometers from the city of Guatemala on the Finca Agua Tibia (Farm of Lukewarm Water) near Fraijanes at an altitude of 5,000 feet above sea level. The highest standards of quality control are used in preparing and exporting "Palo Alto Azul". Even though fewer coffee beans are produced the farmers insist on honoring the "old traditional ways" without the use of machinery, so the quality is not compromised and the ways of 150 years of history is preserved. It is a diverse farm, with a dairy, and ornamental plant nursery, and in fact 75% of the land is set aside as a nature preserve. The coffee beans are farmed under humid conditions and washed utilizing clean mountain stream water. After a 36 to 40 hour period of fermentation, the beans are then naturally sun dried. The quality of the coffee is preserved by utilizing an all natural process.

Guatemalan coffee is revered as one of the most flavorful and well balanced coffees in the world. This year the coffee lives up to my expectations. There are a lot of spicy notes in the cup: clove, nutmeg, mulling spice. I get clean bittersweet chocolate roast notes, aromatic cedar in the finish, and a nice amount of bittersweet chocolate in the finish.

Peruvian FT Organic Perunor S.A.C.
Peru Organic, Fair Trade, Shade Grown
Received 11/03/2008
Perunor S.A.C. assists micro-farms located in the eastern foothills of the Andes where the agriculture and tropical forest are extremely bio-diverse. Thanks to the direct relationship Perunor has with specialty importers, education and financial motivation are given to farmers in order to permanently improve the quality of coffee and life itself for subsistence farmers. The average land-holding farmer lives on two or three hectares, hours away from the comforts of electricity and running water. Peruvian coffee farms are small, however the country's typical micro-wet-milling operation is even smaller. From May to September, farmers pick ripe cherries and carry them to hand pulpers and wooden fermentation tanks. After processing their coffee, most farmers hike their beans by foot or mule into the nearest town--a trip that can take anywhere from 30 minutes to eight hours. On Saturdays, the plaza of the closest town becomes a buying and selling station for the surrounding remote coffee growers. Farmers sell their coffee and buy goods for their homes before heading back up the mountainous foot trails.

Certified Organic Peru Norte is a wonderful South American coffee: clean northern coffees are the mildest of Peru, often with a smoky, earthy flavor, full body and delicate sweetness. You will enjoy a a soft acidity, a very smooth medium body and a pleasing sweetness, finishing with subtle chocolate and nut aromas.

Mexican Pluma Tres Oros
Received 11/03/2008 1lb. bag $12.99
Pluma Altura is one of the most renowned classifications of coffee in Mexico. Grown by a group of small Oaxacan farms, Tres Oros (three gold stars) is the mill name given to this coffee. Oaxaca is a beautiful region of Mexico, with a rich heritage of Zapotec, Mixtec, and other native cultures.

Coffee from Tres Oros is bright, with subtle maple syrup sweetened black tea notes and a golden brown liqueur finish. If you enjoy a clean mild coffee with the classic medium body of a Latin American bean, you'll love this coffee!

El Salvador Cerro las Ranas
Received 10/20/2008 1lb. bag $12.99
Grown in Santa Ana, El Salvador between the Apenaca and Ateno mountain ranges, the farm takes its name from a lagoon that is populated by thousands of frogs (Cerro Las Ranas means Hill of the Frogs). Ripe red cherry is picked and milled in a process that is becoming more and more common throughout Central America. The cherry is processed normally and the coffee is then immediately sent to the clay drying patios still covered in the sweet mucilage where it is laid out, raked and turned to ensure even drying. This process (called Pulped Natural or Honey) imparts a subtle sweetness and fruit note, lending an atypical complexity to the cup. You will find hints of berry, lemon, and citrus flavors with a distinct caramel chocolate undertone here, along with the earthy flavors inherent to the region.

Tanzania Ruvuma Peaberry
Received 10/20/2008 1lb. bag $12.99
Tanzania is the world's largest producer of exceptional sun dried peaberry coffees. Coffees from Ruvuma province are grown between the Mozambique border and the eastern shore of Lake Malawion on the volcanic soils of Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru. Farmers Using the modern pulping mills are paid more than the prevailing home-processed price for their cherry. This is despite the fact that they do not have the work of processing at home. In return, they are expected to take greater care in tending their coffee and in particular to their harvesting of it. They are also paid a bonus if the season is a profitable one.

This great Tanzania coffee exhibits intense flavors of bright lemon, cherry and a floral-toned honey sweetness with thick, full syrupy body that finishes with hints of cedar and cinnamon.

Sumatra Mandeling
Received 10/20/2008 1lb. bag $12.99
Mandheling is the Indonesian ethnic group most involved in coffee production in the South Tapanuli region of Indonesia. Traditional Sumatra coffee sports a heavy body that is well known for its excellent balance and acidity. Most often it is the picking, preparation and processing that determines the character of a fine Sumatra coffee.

Heavy, dark, musky, earthy - Sumatra drinkers are looking for the big flavor punch. This Sumatra is a superb coffee, very clean and powerful, with no imperfections whatsoever in the green beans or the roasted flavor.

Received 9/22/2008 1lb. bag $12.99
Water decaffeination brightens the flavor of this traditionally dried, musky Sumatra to deliver a unique coffee that is shocking, heavy and unmistakably Indonesian in its earthy body. Trying this new coffee is an absolute must for the discriminating Decaf Aficionado.

Guatemalan Decaf Huehuetanango
Received 9/08/2008 1lb. bag $12.99
Our Guatemalan Water Processed Decaf is produced from the same high grown Huehuetanango coffee roasted here in the shop. True to its origin, this is an intensely complex coffee, while still medium in body. There are days I honestly can not taste the difference between this Decaf and its caffeinated counterpart. Simply stunning quality!

Papua New Guinea Decaf
Received 8/25/2008 1lb. bag $12.99
From the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea, grown in the Wahgi River Valley. This Kimel offers a taste of caramel, cream, and rounded out with an undertone of a cappuccino flan flavor - an intriguing, hearty Indonesian Peaberry.
