Another Great Score and a New Kenya Offering!

Our Ndiara Estate, Kirinyaga, Kenya gets a 96 score from Coffee Review!

Chania label Here is what Kenneth Davids has to say: "A fresh, buoyant sweetness carries through the profile like a spring reverie. In the aroma: cherryish fruit, flowers, nut, and a hint of honey. In the cup tartly rich acidity, syrupy mouthfeel. Perfectly ripe but pungently crisp fruit with a hint of lemon. Rich finish. Who should drink it: A superb Kenya as tartly sophisticated as it is seductively sweet."

Upcoming Limited Edition Roasts

Roasting this Monday December 8th!
La Esmeralda, Boquette, Panama

La Esmeralda is like few other coffees grown in the Americas. If ever there was proof that the variety of Arabica can have an effect on coffee flavor, this is it. Here is Ken Davids' review of our coffee: "Blind Assessment: Richly and sweetly bright aroma with aromatic wood, peach-toned fruit and cocoa notes. In the cup quietly acidy, elegantly crisply sweet, deeply floral, with distinct peach-toned fruit and hints of cocoaish chocolate that carry into a long, flavor-glistening finish. Who should drink it: Balanced, complete; authoritative yet aromatically lavish."

$22.95 per 8 ounces.

Roasting every Monday -
Ndiara Estate, Kirinyaga, Kenya

Awarded a 96 point score in Coffee Review!

Ndiara is another powerful coffee from Kirinyaga, an equal, in my Reserve Webopinion, to Mamuto. If ever there was a coffee that should be called jammy, this is it! (La Esperanza is the Colombian version of this!) It presents massive body with a berry fruit-basket of flavors. If you have not tried it you should.
Ndiara is an eight acre farm in the Kirinyaga district on the southern slope of Mt. Kenya at 5,500 feet. It is named after a pre-historic site nearby. Mr. Daniel Waruri Muriuki started it in 1979 when he acquired the land and planted 6,000 Bourbon SL-28 and SL-34 coffee trees; he later added an additional 500 trees.

La Esperanza, Huila, Colombia

La Esperanza, is a jammy ripe dark plum saturated coffee, layered with La Esperanza tropical fruits and streaks of honeyed raw sugar cane. It is among the finest of any Colombian I have had, an exemplary coffee revealing a peak expression of Colombian terroir.

Please note:
When ordering our Limited Edition Coffees, orders must be placed by 8:00 am Eastern time on the day they are scheduled to be roasted. Thanks!
