Finally...

So we have the cup of excellence coffees...after much waiting and nashing of teeth.. We have had no pre orders so I think we will keep the coffees for the clover and for individual cupping sessions. The Barista jam and perhaps similar. We have also purchased some other coffees recommended, keep an eye out for the list. I will post roughly what choices of CoE coffees we will have through the clover..Bridget and Rebecca are off to Mountain Top this week to check out the harvest, and Toshi and Justin are off to the Golden bean awards. We have entered again after a major rush to get the coffees up there on time. All the best to everyone who entered.
The St Ali van will soon appear on the streets of Melbourne, we have purchased a demo vw caddy tdi. The old Scooter just can't handle the weight..

Mountain Top Bin 549

Busy week. We had a great time this week catching up with Andrew Ford from Mountain Top. We had the Bin 549 a week or so, Andrew was due in a few days so Rebecca roasted some 549 up for cupping and assessment. We cupped the coffee and it was a standout, we cup blind and the strength an freshness in the cup was outstanding, a credit to the processing. So to the clover, great tones of coffee cherry then caramel then cocoa. Espresso sweet sweet sweet, with the same tones but swallowed in sweetness. This coffee is fanatastic, and I don't say this often.

So I am waiting to unveil the CoE coffees, tapping my fingers, pacing, and waiting for customs to give the all clear..hasn't happened yet hopefully this week..

Notes from the cupping table..

A quick round up of this weeks tastings..

The Blue Batak is back on with some great tones and complexity.. a stand out this week.

Sihereni A/x never disappoints and this week has seen it working well as a single in the clover..

The Cuban we have at the moment has been popular.

Some changes to the espresso blend and damage to the cooling tray of the renegade..

So we are doing alot of roasting on the probat..
