Fresh out of the roaster today we have Sulawesi AA - Tana Toraja.
This is a rare offering of dry-hulled coffee from small farmers in Sulawesi. This coffee was purchased as wet parchment and then patio dried to a specific moisture before taking to the mill. This unconventional offering is the result of a partnership between a long standing Estate and a Japanese company.
In the cup it's green apple and melon with hints of citrus that merge with a caramel and Muscovado sugar background. One of a kind.
Also available On Siphon at caffe d'bolla this week!

Bolivia Buenavista - Colonia Villa Rosario
Just finished roasting and bagging Bolivia Buenavista - Colonia Villa Rosario!
Buenavista is a centralized coffee processing station in northern Bolivia. This is one of the exceptional lots they have processed this season. This lot represents the smallholder farmers in Villa Rosario. Pedro Rodriguez, and his son Pedro Pablo, operate the station. Coffee cherries are delivered by taxi from the surrounding small farms to the processing station where they are washed and dried on raised beds. Passion and quality result in a great coffee.
In the cup it's a creamy body with raisin and dark berries punctuated by hints of tamarind and cocoa.

Nicaragua Finca Santa Elena - Caturra
We just received some new and fantastic green coffees, and we've been enjoying roasting and sampling them all.
One of the new coffees we got is Nicaragua Finca Santa Elena - Caturra. It's available Whole Bean at the shop today.
Finca Santa Elena is a small farm which is part of the larger Finca Buenos Aires. It resides in the Dipilito region, and despite being at only 1250 meters, it is a surprisingly clean and sweet cup. This lot is 100% Caturra and Wet Processed.
In the cup it's juicy sweet berry and peach notes with praline candy in the body and semi sweet cocoa in the finish.
