COMING SOON! New coffee from Ethiopia via Alo Coffee

Tamiru Tadesse founded Alo coffee with the goal of supporting small Ethiopian farmers who were growing exceptional coffee. Coffees from Alo have grown in stature in recent years because of their exceptional cherry processing quality control and incredible cup character.

We have two lots we are preparing to release very soon.
Both are grown at ultra-high elevation 2400-2500 meter.
1. Alo Village Anaerobic Washed

2. Atote Murango Natural

Thanks to Diego and Nathan for joining in on some awesome roasting sessions yesterday on the Giesen Roasting Solutions W1. Diego owns Bien Hecho Coffee Stand . Instead of buying coffee wholesale, Diego wants to start roasting his own coffee—a wise move!
Nathan Nathan has been roasting for awhile — he took our Introduction to Coffee Roasting class several months ago but booked a private class to refine his roasting protocols and learn some new techniques.

Our September schedule is up on the website. Check out the link in the profile.

I have been to Panama to source coffee perhaps eight times over the years but always to Boquette, the home of some of the best farms and best Geisha coffee in the world. But Panama has other fine growing regions so when I returned to the country this past April I was determined to branch out a bit and find new farming partners in new areas. Volcan is the “other” region in Panama where one can find incredible coffee and incredible farms and where I met Mario Fonseca at his wonderful farm.
Finca Mil Cumbres is unique among coffee farms as it is the closest coffee farm in Panama to the Pacific Ocean while boasting high elevation and an absolutely perfect climate for growing coffee. Mario hosted a fantastic and very interesting coffee cupping for me during my visit and I chose two unique standouts, a Geisha and a Pacamara. Given the ultra-low harvest in Panama this year, we only secured a small amount of each (just a few kilos) of these but both are now available on our website but they won’t last long.

To celebrate our coffee arrivals from Kenya, here is a little Kenya coffee knowledge drop:
Anyone who is a fan of Kenya coffee has probably noticed a pair of letters on your bag of coffee next to the coffee description.
These letters represent the grade of coffee that you purchased. While there are several grades of coffee that are produced in Kenya, there are three grades that are most common in “Specialty Coffee”: AA, AB, and PB.
Contrary to popular belief, these grades have little to do with cup quality but, instead, denote the coffee bean size/appearance of the green coffee after it has been carefully sorted.

AA - the biggest coffee bean size of the three. Screen size 18.

AB - a mix of screen sizes 16/17

PB- Peaberry — a natural mutation that produces rather small beans, screen size 12.

While we can assume that larger bean sizes can produce more desirable flavors, this simply is not always the case. Yes, one can certainly find excellent AA lots, but there are a lot of average ones out there too. And while you may think ABs are never as good as AAs, well, that is a fallacy as well. Great ABs exist, Great AAs exist, Great PBs exist while, at the same time, average AAs, ABs, and PBs also exist.

Want a taste an AA microlot? Follow our “Buy Coffee” link in the profile.
