Behind the Scenes Pics

We had a good bit of positive feedback on our sample roasting video, so I am planning on putting up a few more. I am still editing our first espresso series video, but expect it up within the week.

In the meantime, here are some pics of the other night filming. The wind was picking up a bit, hence the shielding!

Vid up if you have not seen.

This video is the first in a series of what it is like to roast by hand, quite literally.

Guat Cupping, new roast better taste!

So I was compelled to awake from my slumber this morning to re do my roast profile on our Guatemala. I booted on up the sample roaster, and about 30 mins later I was cupping said Guat. Here are some pics of a very simple/informal cupping on an early Sunday morning.

I like the new roast for this, it is much cleaner and sweeter than the previous. In my opinion the previous Guat was a bit too light (it was almost our lightest roast!), so now its a tad bit darker. The result is a nuttier cup, but still it has plenty of fruit hints and a chocolate aftertaste.

Once I finalize the new roast, the Guat will be on sale with any order of a pound or more.

Kenya, (itll make you as fast as Kenyans!)

Just got a chance to cup our new lot of Kenya this morning, and wow. Worth every penny I paid to grab this micro lot. If you have never had the chance to try a good quality Kenyan coffee before, now is the time. Take advantage of the free shipping, or whatever old coupon you may have laying around and try this stuff out!
