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.

Oak & Bond Chardonnay wine barrel aged Ethiopia

February 06, 2019

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 ...

Spectrum Synesthesia Espresso

February 12, 2018

Here I have my third bean from Spectrum Coffees out of Brooklyn, New York. Spectrum's motivation is simply to present the best coffees that the world has to offer to the New York market. They try to taste as many good coffees as they can all the time. Their selection process is arduous, and their roasts are developed to preserve what each unique coffee has to offer. The variability in coffee's sweetness, acidity, and flavor, combined with the many brewing methods now available mean there's a near limitless number of unique coffee cups out there - this is what makes coffee so interesting and fun for them. This is their Synesthesia Espresso bean. This is a blend, currently comprised of two beans from the Guatemala regions of Hunapu and La Danta . Since this was an espresso blend, I chose not to cold brew this, but instead just brewed it as a pourover. I brewed this at my standard pourover ratio of 1:16. Spectrum wanted to strike a balance between having a ...

Tonight's coffee comes to us from 1000 Faces Coffee. 1000 Faces was established in Athens, Georgia in 2006. 1000 Faces has matured greatly over the past ten years & its professionalism and service are a testament to that growth. Still, they remain a seeker on a heroic journey, forever on a quest, searching for the great coffee boon to help retire place, people, and product to state of delicious well-being. This is their Chelbessa. A washed Ethiopian. I brewed this at a 1:12 ratio. 1000 Faces notes flavors of peach, floral, black tea. Another tasty Ethiopian I can add to my book. This was a very florally aromatic coffee. Slightly citrus acidity. Definitely getting that peach tea vibe. Such a bright cup. What a great summer cold brew bean!
