Texture of Guatemala - Patzun, Chimaltenango; brewing up like a champ this morning.

If you're in the North part of Chico and smell something pleasant in the air, that is the smell of the Kent and Bourbon varietals that compose the Tanzania Mbeya Isende.
The last batch of it just got roasted. Gone forever.
But if you're wanting some of this sweet coffee with hints of toasted nut and caramel (with some black tea w/ lemon as it cools) you'll just need to go to Portland or Montana to get it, this is for some good buds out there.
Next up, a fresh peaberry from Tanzania and a Guatemala flat bean!

Mundane Monday?
NOPE! Never.

Coffee arrival alert: Guatemala and Tanzania.

Guatemala Patzun Chimaltenango, is a wet processed offering that consists of Typica and Bourbon varietals, offering up a fruit-forward and very sweet coffee.

Tanzania Tarime, is a wet processed peaberry out-turn of the Bourbon varietal. Akin to its Kenyan cousins, this peaberry should prove to be impressive and is sure to turn heads!

More information to come soon!

Straight Outta The Roaster.

Tanzania - Mbeya Isende, single origin bean.
This washed coffee gives off a sweet, toasted nut and caramel brew, along with slight notes of black tea and lemon citrus.

Comprised of Kent and Bourbon varietals, it is a clear winner in the drinkability category!
