This year, I'm doing something a little different: I'll be buying very small amounts of very special coffees, 20-50lbs, and selling them here as limited release coffees. I'll be rotating coffees through very quickly, I doubt most will last more than a week, so if something piques your interest, grab it quick! Since these are VERY limited amounts: in the off chance I run out of one Limited Release, you will be sent the next one up. Sold in 1lb increments.

New Uganda Muki Fruity Natural!

Uganda grows a lot of coffee, but only 20% of it is Arabica, and most of that is not specialty grade. That being said, some absolutely exquisite coffees come from Uganda, in this case due to the efforts of Norman Mukuru. Norman set up a unique coffee processing hub on Mt. Elgon, where most of the Arabica is grown, and has been instrumental in assisting the farmers with improving coffee quality, as well as dealing with security challenges in the area.

Butterscotch and caramel are front and center, with cacao nibs, guava, banana, prune, and nice florals, even a spicey sandalwood note. Great for drip and espresso! 

New India Ratnagiri Estate Kere Patte Anaerobic Mossto Washed! Sold Out!

Last year we carried a Ratnagiri Natural process, and it was absolutely fantastic, so I have been keeping my eyes open for more. Ratnagiri Estates is in Western Ghats, a protected diversity hotspot, and the farm is managed as such, utilizing wildlife corridors, heavy shade trees, and low-intervention practices to maintain the ecology around them. This coffee is anaerobically fermented with natural mossto (juice from coffee cherries) for 48hrs, then depulped and fermented aerobically for another 20 hours, then fully washed and dried on raised beds. 

Deep chocolate, black current preserves, and prune notes are the foundation of this coffee, but layers of tropical fruit, like lychee and banana smoothie come in, with fresh strawberry and tropical floral notes. This coffee is great any way you brew it, and it's not subtle!
