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.

Dogwood Neon Espresso

May 18, 2018

Here I have my final bean from the good folks over at Dogwood Coffee Co. Dogwood Coffee Company is a small, quality-focused roaster based in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Winnipeg, Manitoba. Quality is the driving factor behind what they do and building relationships is fundamental to their sourcing process and overall approach to doing business. This is their Neon Espresso blend. Dogwood notes flavors of citrus, sparkling fruit, and sweet tang . I brewed this at my 1:12 ratio & also as a pourover at a 1:16 ratio. Dogwood used 2 different beans in this blend: a Costa Rica, Trinidad bean & an Ethiopia, Mulish bean. This was a nice blend. Great acidity. Caramel, nutty sweetness. Stone fruits. Made for a tasty cold brew & pourover. Many thanks to Ben & Dogwood for the tasty beans. They sent me an amazing care package with some super tasty beans, so make sure to go show these guys some love. They know their coffee. Go check them...

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...

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 ...
