Today I have another great coffee from the folks over at Rosalind Coffee.

This is their San Isidro. A washed Columbia bean from the Huila region. I brewed this at my 1:12 ratio. Rosalind notes flavors of nectarine, mandarin orange, & marshmallow. I definitely got the tartness acidity of the citrus. Nice bright orange. Also got a creamy chocolate/cola as well. This was a very interesting cup. Think I will try this at my 1:8 ratio next time. See how that turns out.

Thanks again to Walt & Rosalind for the interesting coffees.

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...

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 ...
