Roasted - Ethiopian Yirgacheffe GR2

$13.26

About the bean:
Ethiopia, the legendary home of the coffee plant and Africa's largest exporter, grows remarkably varied and distinctive beans. One of the very finest comes from the Yirgacheffe region -- the only coffee allowed in the palaces of Ethiopian kings. Today, this bean, which grows in high elevations under a soft canopy of native shade trees, is developing an almost cult-like following among bean aficionados. Widely recognized as one of the world's most exquisite coffees, Yirgacheffe's fragrant and flowery citrus note sets it apart from any other bean you will encounter. Many compare its rich flavor to that of burgundy wines.

Roasting recommendation:
To best bring out Yirgacheffe's subtleties, roast it medium. Consider blending it to add nuance to other coffees. A few like it roasted dark: Yirgacheffe then becomes sharply pungent but very thin, bereft of all its flowery and fruity notes.

Roasted - Espresso Choco

$17.59

Two irresistible flavour forces come together in this divine blend. And, no. We haven't added Lady Godiva chocolate to the brew, just the best beans going.

Roasted - Tanzanian Peaberry

$9.43

About the bean

Tanzania's premium beans, grown on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro near the Kenyan border, produce an unusually rich coffee with a light, winey acidity and medium body. The peaberry, which makes up only 5% of Tanzanian coffee harvests, occurs when the coffee fruit develops a single oval bean rather than the usual pair of flat-sided beans. The round peaberries are then separated from the flatter beans in the same crop to achieve this gourmet coffee.

Peaberry-grade coffee is prized by coffee connoisseurs for the uniform roasts they produce.

According to mythology, the peaberry is male, and is often associated with virility.

Roasting recommendation: Roast darker, to capitalize on this bean's intense flavour.

Roasted - Costa Rican Tarrazu

$12.27

About the bean

Tarrazu coffee is described as a "classically complete" coffee. It offers a sweet, aromatic complexity, full body, pleasant brightness and a delicate, clean aftertaste with rich chocolate and nutty undertones. 

The small Tarrazu region can be found in the country's interior mountains.

This location is celebrated for its volcanic soil and high altitudes and, dense with shade, it provides a wonderful environment for the slower cultivation of coffee cherries. The result is a rich and hearty flavour popular with many.

Species: Coffea Arabica
Processing: Wet-processed
Region: Tarrazu, grown in volcanic soil
Grade: SHB Strictly Hard Bean/SHG Strictly High Grown (between 4500 to 5000 ft)
Appearance: Screen 17
Acidity: Medium
Body: Full
Balance: Perfect
Flavour: A great morning brew with a delicate, clean aftertaste; rich chocolate and nutty undertones.
Roast: Medium to dark. This coffee is highly dependent on the roast. A lighter roast will bring out a milk chocolate brightness with berry overtones. A darker roast accentuates a bittersweet chocolate with a slight, winey finish.

Roasted - Colombian Supremo SC 17/18

$9.05

About the bean:

In general Colombian coffee tends to have a slight hazelnut taste, a sharp aroma with rich body and a medium-to-high acidity. For some time now, especially since offerings from private exporters are more consistent, we have noticed a remarkable quality upgrade in Colombian coffee exports. A difference you will notice in the cup.

Grown in the Andes mountains, Supremos are the largest and highest quality Colombian coffee beans, and are quite possibly the most popular beans in the world. This classic coffee is distinguished by its full body, rich flavour, and medium-high acidity. Perfect for drinking any time of day.

Species: Coffee Arabica
Processing: Wet-processed
Region: Huila department
Appearance: 17-18 Screen
Varietal: Caturra
Acidity: Medium high
Body: Rich
Complexity: No
Balance: Yes
Flavour: Clean, bright, a slight hazelnut taste, a sharp aroma
Roast: City to Full City (City to City + roast might initially seem bright, but as the cup cools, it takes on darker character. Keep the roast lighter, perhaps venturing to Full City)
