Terra Nova Honduras




   Today I have another tasty bean from the people over at Terra Nova out of New Hampshire. Terra Nova Organic Coffee Roasters was founded in a barn on an organic farm in Gilsum, New Hampshire in 2005. Over the years they have refined their process, from sourcing to blending to roasting, from packaging, efficiency, to community relationships and more. Their crew has grown from a tight knit group of family members who worked long and wacky hours, to a professional crew of passionate coffee pros who know their coffees in and out, and craft each batch with care. From day one, Terra Nova has been dedicated to offering the highest quality coffee experience to customers while never compromising on their commitment to be 100% organic, ethically oriented, and kind and collaborative with their customers, crew, and community.

   This is their Honduras bean. Terra Nova notes this bean to be nutty & chocolaty, have mild acidity, and have a clean & sweet aroma. This bean is also 100% USDA organic, responsibly sourced, and small-batch roasted. I brewed this at my 1:12 ratio. This made for a nice full-bodied cold brew. Terra Nova's tasting notes are spot on. Nutty & milk chocolate, nice sweet caramel. Tasty cold brew for sure.

   Many thanks to Jeff & Terra Nova for the tasty beans. I have one more from these guys to share with everyone, so be on the look out.

Alamance Kaffee Werks Black Label Edition Rum Barrel Aged

   Today I feature a tasty bean from Alamance Kaffee Werks out of Graham, North Carolina. Alamance Kaffee Werks was started from the enjoyment of amazing coffee by Daniel Krenzer & Kevin Jordan. Daniel's love of coffee came after visiting Corlesto Coffee Roasters in Billings, Montana. He's been to Costa Rica and Thailand, two totally different coffee experiences, and became enthralled with what these regions are offering the coffee world and how coffee is embedded in the culture. When not working with coffee, he works as a school psychologist in public education, primarily working on behalf of students with disabilities. And as such, part of his proceeds go towards non-profit organizations that provide mental health supports for children with Autism and brain injuries. Kevin's story started while on a mission trip to El Salvador. It has been through the introduction to roasting he has been blessed to experience once again a truly excellent cup of coffee. The tast

   Today I have another bean from the good people over at Alamance Kaffee Werks out of Graham, North Carolina. Alamance Kaffee Werks is passionate about custom roasted coffee, the right roast for the the right bean at the right value. The first thing that you will notice with AKW coffee is the aroma and vibrant flavor. These qualities come from a fresh roasted bean. Since AKW is a custom roastery, your bean is roasted to your preference. This means that the beans are roasted in small batches with precision and care. Once ordered, your coffee will be packaged and on its way to you quickly. If you'd like a personalized blend or roast, let them know and they can do that for you.     This is their Mexico bean. This is a washed bean grown within the Sierra Madre region at an altitude of 1600 meters above sea level. This coffee is certified Organic and Direct Trade. Some of this coffee is even grown in environmentally protected areas, as Chiapas' rainforests are home to th

Tony’s Chocolonely Milk Chocolate

   I know I haven't done any chocolate bars for you guys in quite some time, but they don't come through my mailbox as often as the coffee (bummer, I know). But recently I reached out to Tony's (after seeing them in my local World Market store) and they have been kind enough to supply me with some of their bars for me to share with everyone.    In 2005 Dutch investigative reporter Teun (Tony) van de Keuken launched an investigation about the use of slavery within the cocoa industry on his consumer report show Keuringsdienst van Waarde. He was literally shocked to discover that most of the chocolate on supermarket shelves was harvested by slaves—worse, by child slaves. He decided to do something about it. On November 29th 2005, Teun decided to lead by example and make 5,000 Fairtrade chocolate bars. Tony’s Chocolonely was born. The very first Fair Trade Tony’s Chocolonely bars hit the supermarket shelves in 2005. In 2006 they became legit by registering with the
