novena, don telmo, and la amistad
Posted May 21, 2008 by T.J.
I have finalized the third espresso blend for our shop. We have decided to call it: Espresso Novena - if you haven't been one of the lucky few to try it - come in and give it a shot. If you mention this blog - I will offer you a single on me. I have been working on this blend as a reaction to one of my favorite coffee shops in NYC that has a similar blend. It has no indonesian coffees in it -- in contrast - our other two blends are so heavily reliant on indo.
Additionally, we received a new shipment of coffees and I am proud to announce two special offerings:
1)Colombian Mesa de Los Santos (Don Telmo) this is a strictly Bourbon coffee. That means that the coffee trees are Coffea Arabica Bourbon (our typical offerings are Coffea Arabica Typica) - we have been able to offer a few others from time to time. This is a very special bird (and other critter) friendly, shade grown, org. You can learn more about this coffee at their website: http://www.cafemesadelossantos.com/
This will be offered on the clover later in the day tomorrow.
2)Costa Rican La Amistad another exciting offering - this is a shade-grown, bird friendly, and org. coffee - you can learn more about this coffee by visiting: http://www.laamistad.com/ingles/ingles.html
I am eager to have some cupping notes from this coffee - I won't be able to evaluate until tomorrow morning...
