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.
Most from SM have been very good, except the Onan Ganjang may have been a bit "dirty"

I generally roast FC+ anyway and wanted to see how it would be going into French Roast territory. Looking a bit more into it, I may have hit Italian roast, so I will just toss it.

FC+ is pretty much as dark as I go, usually just FC.

New coffee! Kenya Nyeri AB Gatomboya Roasted 13 hours ago to FC, drip, SO. I love the twang of a good Kenyan and this one has it. Reminds me of the twang in Cuban cigars It's juicy and sweet, with a long citrus finish that is loaded with grapefruit. Really nice cup! So glad to be drinking something new from SM
On a side note, it is an interesting challenge to drip brew a pot of coffee when it is this fresh. The bloom wants to rise right out of the coffee maker.

So I've come to the conclusion that I don't like Starbucks coffee. Had a few while out of town as its the only decent cup in Buenos Aires. And that's not saying much.

Found the order from GCBC on my doorstep when I got home from work this morning. I quickly opened the box and immediately fired up 12 oz of Ethopian Sidamo Natural to FC+. Gonna roast 12 oz more shortly.

Pressed a pot of Monkey blend before church, was awful don't know if it was tap water, old beans, what, but it was bad.
Dripped a pot of Kenyan when we got home and it was very good. Not as good as yesterday, but very good.
