Two Micro Lots on Tap

We’ve had a couple of Micro Lot coffees on and off the menu for the past week- we would order a little, get it in, then sell out quickly.  Here’s the lowdown on these special, limited offering coffees…

Fazenda do Sertão, Brazil
Originally meant to be a part of the Black Cat Espresso Blend- this coffee practically jumped off the cupping table and into a press pot!  Caramel and toffee flavors dominate this pulped natural coffee.  Low acidity but you get a just hint of mango. Available for a limited time only!

Los Inmortales, El Salvador Micro-Lot: Finca Matalapa
The cream of the (Finca Matalapa) crop- this coffee features notes of white grape and sweet apple.  The body is silky smooth and finishes with a hint of vanilla.  Won’t be around long.

The brew bar menu has been updated at long last.  More updates coming as all the new centrals start to roll in.

El Machete- Direct Trade PANAMA!

As promised- the new Direct Trade Panama is here!

We were so excited we cut a bag open before we were even done receiving today’s shipment.  Initial thoughts… the aroma had a little bit of spiciness to it.  We brewed some on the Clover at a couple of different recipes and found one that really highlighted the natural sweetness and berry notes.  I’m definitely getting the maple and the spiciness I smelled when I first opened the bag is also present in the cup- spicy like a high grade cocoa.  Yum.  I need to update the coffee menu now.

By the way… I’ve heard there may be a single origin espresso of this coffee in the near future- that would be really awesome.
