Grumpy Mule Coffee News 2010
Lots of coffee comings and goings at the Roastery! Here's a quick overview of what's new, what's arriving soon and what should have arrived already but hasn't (thank you late arriving Cafe Femenino coffee from Bolivia.)
Panama Diamond Mountain from Hacienda La Esmeralda (click to buy)
New harvest. Our third season of buying from the Peterson's, this has established itself as one of our firm customer favourites. Very clean, bright and exceptionally smooth.
Tanzania Footprint from the Blackburn Estate (click to buy)
New harvest. Following the overwhelming success of this exclusive Peaberry selection from the Gehrkens immaculate estate, it wasn't a difficult decision to continue into 2010 and beyond.
Bolivia Cafe Wara Wara III, Cup of Excellence Lot (click to buy)
A delightful coffee from the 2009 Bolivia Cup of Excellence competition, this is a great time to try it's full bodied, fruity character and sweet finish.
Organic Colombia Swiss Water Decaf (click to buy)
It's been proving harder and harder to get our hands on this coffee, but we have a small batch in at the moment. Snap it up while you can, as once it's gone it's gone.
Coming soon:
Kenya Gethumbwini Estate AA
This is a small batch from this year's main harvest, due to arrive a little later in May. The higher price this year merely reflects the high prices being paid at auction as this coffee continues to develop it's reputation as one of the finest Kenyan Estate coffees available. Available late May.
Organic Bolivia Cafe Femenino (Fairtrade certified)
This coffee has been on a magical mystery tour, but we're keeping our fingers crossed it will have arrived by the end of May because both our home and retail customers have been asking when they can buy some!
Brazil Sitio Monte Verde, Cup of Excellence Lot
Another Cup of Excellence auction lot, this is a really fine Brazilian coffee. Buttery flavours and a lovely brightness in the cup. Available from June / July.
Organic Brasil Santa Terezinha Special Micro-lot
We love the organic coffees from Fazenda Santa Terezinha and this is a special micro-lot that was originally earmarked for one of the regional coffee competitions in Brazil. Rounded and chocolatey and a pleasure to drink. Available from June / July.
Organic Sumatra Swiss Water Decaf (Fairtrade certified)
A flavoursome and aromatic Decaf, this is also Fairtrade and organic certified. Swiss Water Processed. Available from late May / June
