From the post office to the roast office - Tuesday, June 24th
I just received shipment of two great coffees!
Here is word from my broker Andrew Blyth at Royal Coffee about these beans:
"The arrival of the Organic Ethiopian Korate Natural Sidamo Rain forest Alliance Coffee has produced a record-breaking day in Royal NY’s cupping room! Our graders’ cupping notes were perfect 10’s across the board for this outstanding coffee. With a sweet berry aroma, this cup is a dream from start to finish. Starting with strong citrus tones, accompanied with a floral, berry-like flavor, and wrapped up with a cinnamon finish – this coffee can be compared to the Fruit Loops cereal – it will leave you wanting more, more, more!
Also the 2008 crop of The Salvador SHG Cerro Las Ranas Pulped Natural Rain Forest Alliance – This is our first new crop delivery of last year’s biggest hit and the 2008 crop is just as amazing! The cup lives up to the Cerro tradition, with a creamy break followed by caramel and lemony notes. The lively acidity, smooth body, and creamy, chocolate taste definitely make us realize how much we’ve missed this coffee."
See you tomorrow at the Farmer's Market--I'll bringing these new coffees!

Wow! After sampling the 2 new coffees I can say that they are both delicious and very flavorful in different ways. I'm loving the woody brightness of the Cerro Las Ranas and the dark berry-ness of the Ethiopian Sidamo. As always, they are roasted to perfection to let those flavors sing! With a little genetic modification and global warming, we ought to be able to start growing coffee in Michigan soon.

What does "free speech coffee" mean? Could people in North Korea, China,or Cuba buy it? Is it allowed in countries where there is no free-speech? Or do you mean that by drinking your coffee, one becomes more free with their own speech? Is is a kind of drug like alcohol that causes verbal inhibition? Or is the phrase related to this web site-where one is free to "have a voice" and comment about the coffee?
