New coffees for sale

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

Moises and Marysabel

We are so proud and very happy to have some new coffees for sale.

This time, the new crop from one of our all time favorites, Jobneel at Finca Nacimiento is finally in house and on the shelves.
We have bought 5 lots from him this year and the first release is a Bourbon picked on the 3rd of March. This coffee is so ripe and juicy that people think it is a Kenyan coffee. Loads of ripe cherry flavours. For more information on the coffee go here.

We are also thrilled to finally be able to sell some very special coffee from the Caballero family in Marcala, Honduras. They have several farms, so we decided to honor their name by calling the coffee “Caballero” as their family has been pioneering coffee in Honduras for over a century. We bought 7 different lots from the Caballeros this year, and first one for sale is the first picking from the farm Los Cipreses. For more info go here.

The third release this week is a coffee from one of the first farms we ever bought coffee from when we opened in 2007. Finca La Montañita is situated in the mountains of El Salvador. The Pacamara that we bought from Mr. Antonio René this year has a lot of crisp apple acidity and intense fruity flavors.
For more info go here.

We hope you will enjoy these coffees.

Drying coffee at Tecapa

We have bought a very exciting coffee from El Salvador this year, from the farm Los Pirineos. Gilberto Baraona has competed with his coffees in the El Salvador Cup of Excellence for several years, and last year we bought a lot from his Las Palmas farm on the CoE auction. We are very proud to be able to sell his coffee this year as well. For more info on Gilberto and his coffee go here.

The coffee will be for sale from tomorrow (Thursday 14th of july) and will also be featured in our new espresso blend that we will start roasting tomorrow as well.

The TW espresso blend now consists of:
80 % Los Pirineos from El Salvador
20 % Tekangu from kenya.

El Salvador Cup of Excellence

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

We just bought the 30th place winning coffee at the 2010 El Salvador Cup of Excellence auction.

You might wonder why we didn’t bid on the delicious 1st place winner or the lovely no. 3. Well, we are looking for a slightly different profile from El Salvador. Although I love the Pacamara they produce, I feel that we are able to source similar styled coffes from Honduras, only with more intensity. However,  I love the super sweet and dense Bourbon coffees from El Salvador.

The lot we bought is just the style we are looking for. The coffee is super sweet, juicy and has a lovely marzipan aroma with berries and plum in the background.
We bought this lot for USD 5.31 per lb (453 grams.) That is more than USD 4,- above fair trade price.
We are planning on using it for espresso as we think this style of coffee will be super sweet pouring from our FB80.

Hopefully it will arrive in about 6-8 weeks.
