I absolutely adore coffees from Panama, they are intense! The “Sieta Dias de Bellota” has left me with just that, a week of wonderfully beautiful coffee.
We’ve tried quite a few Bourbon cultivars, and this Guatemala Bourbon is probably the best and most distinct I’ve had so far.
I’m always trying to find coffees we’ve never had, especially from different regions. The Yemen Mokha is the first coffee we’ve tried from Arabia.
This is my first time with a coffee at a City roast, which is as light as you can go in the roast spectrum. What makes this special is that the cup is going to have all the character of the bean and none of the roaster.
If I wasn’t such a dark roast fan I think this blend from Sweet Maria’s could have shined stronger, but the caramel and malt aroma of this coffee really brought in the beginning of Fall nicely.
It’s very hard for me to accept there are coffees out there that I don’t like. The Sumatra Takengon was one I though perhaps I kept trying it on days I was having a palette issue, or was just not in the mood for coffee, but after trial number three, I’ve given up.
We’ve been trying a lot of bourbon cultivars lately, and I have to say I love the body they tend to have. The El Salvador Bourbon is no exception.
What a surprise the Colombia Tolima turned out to be. My previous encounter with Colombian coffee didn’t turn out to be something I was impressed with for espresso. I don’t think I’ve come across a more comforting coffee so far.
It’s always hard to come back from an amazing coffee. Most of the time I feel slightly disappointed by the following coffee, which really makes those few you hit that bring back your passion to full throttle all the more amazing. I’m really glad the Brazil Yellow Bourbon followed the Costa Rica Bourbon.
