I roasted the Colombia Huila - Las Piedras de San Augustin on Sunday, had it for the first time yesterday, and again today. What a difference a day makes! The body truly came in this AM and the fruited notes at the end make this a very juicy cup. Chalk one up for pear. I originally roasted this as a crowd pleaser for a party being given in my honour this afternoon as I move from one job to another (same agency, different position). I'm thinking I have a winner. Although I have been roasting for awhile now, this is the first Colombian for me. When I first began, I got hooked by the Africans, but this year, my goal was to expand my horizons a bit. vicki Homeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://www.homeroasting.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20">http://lists.sweetmariascoffee.com/listinfo.cgi/homeroast-sweetmariascoffee.comHomeroast community pictures 9upload yours!) :http://www.homeroasting.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20 |
Well, it's an afternoon cup, but I'm drinking a 60% Mandheling, 40% Yirga Cheffe Konga mix. Just a little shy of 3 days old, and the lemony-ness of the Yirg still hasn't come out... I'm hoping it makes an appearance soon! There's just a shade of citrus and acidity, but not much... so here's to hoping! But a great cup of coffee tasting coffee!bill On Thu, May 8, 2008 at 5:50 AM, Vicki Smith wrote: <Snip> Homeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://www.homeroasting.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20">http://lists.sweetmariascoffee.com/listinfo.cgi/homeroast-sweetmariascoffee.comHomeroast community pictures 9upload yours!) :http://www.homeroasting.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20 |
I had a FP of volcanic san marcos guatemalan at a City roast, and a double espresso of El Salvadorean Matapala which I roasted last night to a City plus...very very nice....balanced, nuts, cocoa. Dean De Crisce Sent from a Treo phone. |
