Here we have a coffee from the fellas over at Redbeard Coffee Roasters. A team of fellow "red beards" Nathaniel & Stephen.

This is their Rwanda Karongi Gitesi. A medium roast wet processed bean. I brewed this at my stronger 1:8 ratio. Redbeard notes flavors of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, honey. This was a tasty Rwandan. Believe I've only had one other, and I liked it as well. Would love it pair this with Thanksgiving! Definitely love the spicy-bed of this coffee. Cinnamon, brown sugar, raisins. Delicious. Also drank this with some cream and it was delicious. It's own desert.

Thanks again to Stephen and Redbeard for the tasty coffee.

Java Brothers Guatemala Reserve

January 29, 2018

Here I have my second bean from local roasters Java Brothers. Java Brothers roasts right here in KC, over in Martin City. Java Brothers began as a way to connect friends and family with their passion for coffee. They enjoy partnering and sharing their love for coffee with all of us. They've been fortunate to share meals, have lengthy conversations, and harvest coffee with farmers in every major coffee region. Countries like Kenya, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Colombia, Brazil, & Sumatra are some of their favorite origins. This is their Guatemala Reserve bean. A limited supply washed bean from the Teanzul Farm, which was also a Cup Of Excellence winner. I brewed this at my 1:12 ratio. This was a tasty Guatemalan cold brew. Nice citrus/malic acidity. Nutty & chocolatey & caramel. Tasty sweet cold brew from a local roaster. Thanks again to Quincy & Java Brothers for the tasty beans. Make sure to look for them in your local grocer. The...

Swings Decaf Colombia

January 09, 2018

Here I present my third and final bean from Swings Coffee. Swing’s Coffee Roasters has been part of the Washington, DC coffee culture for nearly 100 years. The M.E. Swing Co. was established in Washington, D.C. by M.E. Swing and his son, Edward Swing, in 1916. Father and son found a ready market for the premium Arabica beans which were imported from Africa, Latin America, and the Far East. In 1920, the company opened its now historic Mesco Coffee Roasters building at 1013 E Street. Swing’s passionate customers have literally traveled the world with their beans in tow, sharing their coffee with others, and relating tales of “this obscure coffee roaster in DC.” That level of devotion has kept the roasters running all this time. In 2013, Swing’s opened a new roastery and coffee bar with the sole intent of delivering exceptional coffees and a unique coffee experience to their following. They hope to strengthen an existing bond and extend their reach to those who have yet...

Rooftop Natural Ethiopia Mokonisa

September 17, 2018

Today I have for you guys an amazing bean from Rooftop Coffee Roasters out of Fernie, British Colombia, Canada. In July 2016, they launched their small roastery with one cafe client, a handful of retail customers, and a 17-year-old head roaster. At the time, the team's past business experience spanned many industries, except the coffee industry. And they were coming out of the gate with a mantra of light roasted coffee and “Single Origin, Single Speed” in the dark roast dominated town of Fernie, BC. They’ve come a long way since their early days of home roasting on the rooftop. For starters, their shop is at ground-level and they are no longer roasting 250 grams at a time, in a tiny electric roaster. However, cracking open a bag of green coffee still inspires them in the same wonder and excitement, and they can’t wait to see where it will take them next. This is their Natural Ethiopia Mokonisa bean. This bean carries the Certifications of being...
