Also unlike typical robusta, there are no defects in this coffee! Screen size 17. This coffee roasts much more uniformly than other robusta's. A must have component for those experimenting with espresso blends. The caffeine content of these beans is approximately 1.5x that of arabica type coffees.

    Cupping Notes: Medium-intense dry aroma, sun-dried tomatoes, leather-wine like.

    Roasting Notes: If using for a blend component, it is okay to pre-blend this coffee with other varietals since it roasts similar to washed arabica beans of similar size. City++ to Full City roast.

  • La Minita is perhaps the best known of all the coffees from the Tarrazu growing region. It has received considerable press exposure and public acclaim.

    Simply put, this coffee is terrific and thoroughly enjoyable. La Minita prides itself on being amongst the most meticulously grown and prepared coffees in the world. The La Minita plantation lies on 700 acres in the steeply graded, mountainous Tarrazu region with elevations between 4,000 to 7,000 feet. The estate farm produces several qualities of coffee but their signature coffee, La Minita Tarrazu, has very limited production; approximately 1700 bags per year . The attention to detail is extreme, beginning with what can be described as ordinary gardening techniques, but on a large scale, as all the work is done by hand.

    Cupping notes: Intense dry aroma, bright acidity, grapefruit, exceptionally clean cup and very well balanced. Full body. Fruitiness turns to smooth vanilla as it cools. Well balanced, Pleasant lingering aftertaste. Elegant.

    Roasting Note: City to City++. Roast this coffee lighter than normal. If you roast to the same temperature (assuming you have a bean temperature probe) as you would for most other bean's typical temperature, the beans will appear very dark. They really like to be roasted lightly, which produces the best flavors and aromatics this coffee has to offer. Roasting a little darker produces dark chocolaty notes, but the brightness diminishes .

  • This tasty Supremo comes to us in Grain-pro lined jute bags to help preserve moisture content and prevent contamination of the beans. It is a co-op coffee with not many defects. It roasts up nicely and is what one would expect from an all-around nice Colombian coffee.

    Cupping Notes: Moderate-to-Intense dry aroma; becoming less intense during wet and break. Ripe citrus top notes, medium body. At a light roast grains such as rice or wheat are noticed (typical for a Colombian coffee). Malty at a darker roast. Pleasant sweet finish as the cup cools.

    Roasting Notes: Being a fairly hard and dense bean, this coffee holds up well to darker roasts. Roast it no lighter than City+. Medium roast seems to bring out the best characteristics including aroma and body.

  • Dedicated to sustainability and quality, Daterra Farms had its beginnings in the early 1900's when an Italian family emigrated to Brazil and started farming. The brand "Daterra" actually came about in the 1980's.

  • From .the Reis Brothers' Farm, this is an impressive, beautiful coffee farm and their spirit in farming is infectious. They have been producing some of Carmo de Minas' best coffee for years and their is nothing like a farmers pride! And they have a brick factory on their property going way back. And cows, naturally.

    This is a microlot coffee with a limited number of bags produced.

    Cupping Notes: Medium intense dry aroma. Breaking the crust reminds us of being inside a chocolate shop. Pine nuts. Apricot, cocoa, fine malt. Mild acidity. Clean cup. The lingering pleasant cocoa aftertaste is a strong hint that this coffee will work well in an espresso.

    Roasting Notes: Natural processed beans, so they don't appear to be anything special in their green form. However once roasted they morph into a beautiful uniform color. The coffee is clean - no brokens, foreign matter, quakers, etc. It is truly a specialty grade coffee.
