New Coffees

A few coffee deliveries have recently arrived here which means there are several new coffees now available.

In African coffees there's the return of Ethiopia Dehab's Diamond and Kenya AA.

From the Americas our usual Colombia Supremo Reserva del Patron is once again available along with Guatemala Fair Trade Certified and Brazil.

Papua New Guinea is back which means we can once again offer Big Island Blend. The new Sumatra exceeded our expectations roasted a bit darker than we normally take coffees from that island and we've also brought in a smoky dark roast from Sulawesi.

Now Selling Online!

You can now order one pound bags of whole bean roasted coffee through this web site. So far this is just a test run. If things go well we'll consider adding more features and products, but we're starting out with something simple. If you want something other than one pound bags of whole bean roasted coffee, orders can still be placed by phone.

Coffee: Our sourcing and roasting philosophy

Every coffee comes from somewhere. The place where the coffee is grown has a tremendous influence on how it tastes. Soil, temperature, and rainfall have quite a bit to do with how a coffee will ultimately taste. Variety selection, farming techniques, and the care taken in harvesting and processing also play a role. We try to find a variety of unique coffees, all different, but all delicious.

For each lot of coffee we buy, we evaluate several different roasts and try to find ways of roasting that coffee which bring out the best characteristics of that coffee. The result of this coffee first approach is that there is a great diversity of roasting styles among the coffees we offer.
