Today I have a tasty coffee from a local roaster. Dutchman Coffee Roasters out of North Kansas City, Missouri. Love getting able to try and promote local businesses. Dutchman strives to provide a high quality coffee that has been resourced in a responsible manor. Prior to selecting a new crop of green coffee, they roast and sample in a variety of brewing methods to ensure an in depth knowledge of the flavor profile of the coffee before purchasing.

This is their Santa Josefa Typica. A washed Peru bean from the Villa Rica, Junin region. The farm has pivoted from a conventional coffee farm to a dedicated specialty farm, planting new varieties and experimenting with multiple forms of processing. I brewed this at my 1:12 ratio. Dutchman notes flavors of sweet caramel, apricot, dried cranberry. This was a nice fruity cup. Little cherry tartness in there. Honey sweetness. Nice balanced cup. Very tasty.

Thanks again to David & Dutchman for the great coffee. Looking forward to trying the other coffees I have from them. Was also nice getting to meet Dutchman at a local beer/coffee/chocolate collaboration at @doubleshiftbrewing, a local brewery.

Seven Seas Laos: Setapoung Village

January 18, 2019

Here I have another great bean from Seven Seas Roasting Company. Seven Seas was started by Eric and Rob during their years in the armed forces. They randomly bumped into each other at a coffee bar in Bangkok and the real coffee journey began: the journey where coffee farmers are treated like humans and where the coffee they produce tastes damn good too. What they found out on their travels became the impetus for Seven Seas Roasting Co: what most call fair trade is nothing more than an airline calling economy seating comfortable. So, they set out to change that. The name Seven Seas Roasting Co. is a nod to past explorers and adventurers, who risked everything in the pursuit of reaching new lands in search of exotic rewards to return with. This is their washed Laos: Setapoung Village bean. Nestled in the backcountry of Lao’s Bolaven Plateau, few outsiders ever venture down this dusty path. Here, the remnants of the Vietnam War have been swallowed into ev...

Alamance Kaffee Werks Black Label Edition Rum Barrel Aged

December 12, 2017

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...

Dash Guatemala San Pedro, Atitlan

May 02, 2018

Today I have a tasty bean from the fine folks over at Dash Coffee Roasters. Dash roasts out of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. "Good enough isn't good enough." That is what pushes Dash to do better. Properly hand brewed and roasted coffee, meticulously made espresso, and delicious food. Adding that extra bit of intentionality is what sets them apart. They are a group of people who are passionate about building community and offering specialty grade coffee. Their goal is to transform the coffee scene with a higher level of service and a better product. This is one of their Guatemala bean offerings. A washed bean from San Pedro, Atitlan. Coffee beans hailing from the Atitlan region are grown along the slopes of the numerous area volcanoes. The rich, volcanic soil and high-elevation produce slow-growing beans unlike any other origin. Harvested beans are washed with the waters of Lake Atitlan. I brewed this at my 1:12 ratio. Dash notes flavors of cherry, cola, & coco...
