King Bean Ethiopian Yirgacheffe


  Today's coffee comes to us from King Bean Coffee Roasters. Owner/Founder Kurt began King Bean in his parents' garage in 1994 in South Carolina at the age of 23. Twenty years and 3 roaster upgrades later, they still pack all coffee by hand. 

  This is their Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. A natural bean that won the Charleston Coffee Cup's "Best Roast Award". King Bean notes tastes of jasmine, lemon meringue, stone fruit. This was a delicious cup, for a fan of lovers of Ethiopians for sure. Brewed at 1:12. Citrus sweet. Very floral. Excellent cold brew coffee. 

  Thanks again to Katie & King Bean for the amazing coffee.

Go check these guys put and buy some great coffee:  kingbean.com

   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 a wonderful bean from the folks over at Oak & Bond Coffee Co. After developing a passion for coffee, Oak & Bond Coffee Co. founders, Brian and Lauren McCulloch, continued to explore for their perfect cup. they were in search of a rich, vibrant coffee that they could share with their family and friends. They first found their perfect cup from a small micro lot in the Chapadas de Minas region of Brazil. It was at this point that Brian and Lauren took the leap to open Oak & Bond Coffee Co. To this day their goal remains, share their passion for sourcing the highest quality coffee with you.    This is their Chardonnay wine barrel aged Ethiopia coffee. It's a Semi Washed Guji bean with the barrel being sourced from Napa, California. Oak & Bond notes flavors of bright white grape, lemon, watermelon, & cocoa. First of all, love the packaging. No doubts this will be one of my favorites for 2019. Next, the bean was crazy awesome. But ...
