Last-time Special Vintage Kenya Karogoto 2006 crop - one last roast this Monday, May 19!

Thanks to our special storage methods we have been able to keep the last 40 pounds of this great coffee perfectly preserved for a last roast! It received a 96 score from Ken David's Coffee Review. We let Ken do the describing: "Floral-toned, intense aroma dominated by the elegantly crisp, dry berry note coffee tasters are fond of calling black currant. In the cup richly acidy. The black currant note softens toward cherry under the influence of a sweet, deeply honeyed richness. The black currant revives in the flavor-saturated finish."

Not to be missed!

Full flavor roast, $19.95 per 12 ounces.

Marco Aurelio's Villa Flor, Nariño, Colombia
Roasting Monday, May 19th in our Full Flavor Roast!

Marco Aurelio Ortega is another very small Colombian farmer deeply attached to the earth and its life-forces. We have been announcing his arrival in earlier newsletters. He uses only natural inputs and applies no chemicals to his farm. He grows medicinal and aromatic herbs, fruits and many different trees on his tiny 3 acre farm. He has even contoured his farm on the steep slopes, at 6,000 feet, something I am told again and again in Colombia that small farmers cannot afford - yet he has done it simply because he feels that erosion control is worth the effort. Marco Aurelia will be applying for organic certification, which practices he has long applied out of his own convictions. We are looking into importing his coffee-blossom honey which he currently sells to the local market...

Drinking Villa Flor is like listening to a beautifully tuned stringed instrument. It sings. And then it disappears, like music. It is 100% of the Caturra variety at its best. This variety was created to increase production yet produce high quality; here the Caturra plants' high productivity is held back through the use of shade trees. Ortega's craftsmanship brings out delicate complex flavor notes of great clarity reminiscent of Burgundy's Pinot Noir. Villa Flor is a coffee that combines great delicacy with real spine. The cup has laser-like acidity that is all sweetness and light around a Brazil nut core wafting filigree wintergreen-tinged tropical fruit aromas from hot to cold with wisps of soft persimmons, essence of pomegranate and passion fruit. Villa Flor has a svelte yet sensuous body that derives purely from its oils and a natural sweetness without trace of edginess.

$15.95 per 8 oz. roasted.
