I am very happy to announce that we just bought the 4th place in the 2008 Honduras Cup of Excellence.

This is by far the best coffee I have tasted in all the Cup of Excellence auctions this year, and I am very proud to have payed 14$ per pound for the coffee (about 30 US$ per kilo) especially when about 80% of that money goes back to the farmer. (Fair trade price is about 1,30 US$ per pound)

I think this coffee really displays the very best Honduras has to offer and I remember it is very similar to the best coffees I tasted when I was in Honduras as a jurymember of the 2005 Cup of Excellence.

You can se all the results from the auction here.

I can’t wait to get it to Norway so our customers can taste this fantastic coffee!

Time for a glass of champagne…
Yours truly
Tim

An incredible year a Tim Wendelboe’s was celebrated this weekend with an impromptu BBQ in the park with the people closest to us. Tim got 4 different Blanc de Blancs and some of Oslo’s finest sausages. We were the poshest people in the park.

It has been a huge year for us here, plenty of visitors from around the globe, some 20 or so amazing coffees, around 4 versions of the Tim Wendelboe espresso blend – moving with the seasons, great feedback and press, incredible professional staff – boasting the Norwegian barista champion and Norway’s 4th best cupper ( i’m going to milk it a little more ).

Thanks to everyone for their support and contribution over the past year.

Our hats must come off to the man behind the name. Tim Wendelboe!

Congratulations!
