An awesome Sumatra Toba Batak peaberry

roasted 72 hours ago to FC+, drip, Silk. Smooth, sweet, funky, earthy.

Army Coffee, AKA Used Motor Oil/ burnt TAR... Man i miss my coffee pot.

Mr B · 12-10-2012, 11:52 AM

Costa Rica Tarrazu Finca La Ortiga at City+.
Very good! Notes of Buttered Sourdough Toast w/ Honey and a slight citrus twang.

BSB · 12-11-2012, 08:18 AM

A nice Mocha Java blend 70% Ethiopia 30% Sumatra. Smooth and sweet, nice berry flavor, and just a hint of earthy funkiness

CigarSquid · 12-11-2012, 08:25 AM

That sounds so good Bob.

BSB · 12-11-2012, 09:12 AM

I mainly prefer SO, but the Ethiopian came out a bit light, so I thought I'd try some blending. It worked out pretty good. I am looking forward to roasting and trying a new SO, when these coffees are gone though.

Ethiopinan Yirgacheffe.
Last few months have really gotten into coffee. Amazed how much variety is out there.

Ain't that the truth. I LOVE it! And with places like Sweet Maria's, we can get coffee that literally no one else has tried.

Tanzania Peaberry

Picked up some JBM...but it's just not like it used to be.
It's much less 'special'...meaning it is a little washed out. sad.

Where did you get the JBM?

Blak Smyth · 12-11-2012, 01:02 PM

Had some Tanzanian Peaberry espresso this weekend, had a tangy fruitiness that had a delightful linger. Not my preferred flavor profile but pretty enjoyable.

Mr B · 12-11-2012, 01:07 PM

Ethiopia Sidama Deri Kochoha at FC/FC+. Very Sweet and tasty. Not fruity like the Yirga Cheffe's (I do like that) but more coco and baking spice.
Very nice.

That one sounds really nice. I will grab a couple lbs, next order.
Mocha Java again for me

40% Eth, 60% Sumatra, good cup.

Chainsaw13 · 12-12-2012, 10:28 AM

Whatever jet fuel they're serving at the plant here in Argentina. Very similar to Brazilian style coffee. Very thick, almost syrupy.

BSB · 12-13-2012, 10:14 AM

Straight Sumatra Toba Batak Peaberry

roasted what? gotta be 5 1/2 days ago, at least, drip, Silk. It is a fine cup, earthy, funky, smooth, sweet. Classic!

Mr B · 12-13-2012, 11:53 AM

I like the Sumatrans, but this years crop does not seem quite as good as the varities I got last year.

Maybe not quite as potent flavor.

Ya, thats part of it. They seemed a little more sweet in the past, as well as a little more like Baking Spices and less earthy.
The 2-3 varieties this season were very earthy but not as "good-earthy" as last season. More "dirt taste" I guess.
Still good, but did not wow me.

Mr B · 12-13-2012, 11:56 AM

This morning is a blend of 80% Costa Rica Tarrazu Finca La Ortiga at C+ and 20% Brazil Fazenda do Sertao Catuai at FC+.
Very tasty cup. Juicy citrus and Sourdough from the Costa Rica and some Milk Chocolate from the Brazil.

Anyone else like browsing the GCBC? Have a 15# shipment enroute for 2 current offerings there and 10# of unclebeanz Negrita.

My last roast was some Bob O Link that I roasted til they were done with 2nd crack. They're quite dark and oily.
