    Re: Favorite single origin coffee

    Late last year I was fortunate enough to nab some Ethiopian Gambella Naturals. Andy described them as poor mans yemen and while I generally agree, I think they have a fruitier flavour.

    These are a favourite at home.

    Sometimes I begrudgingly roast some for customers.

    Ive been sorting out the peaberries from my Kimel for the last 12 months.
    Almost have enough for a roast.
    Gee TG, after all that effort I really hope they live up to your expectations!   ;D
    Just want to compare side by side with the rest of the crop to prove to myself that the peaberries do taste different.

    Monsooned Malabar would probably just edge Yemen Bani Ismail for me. Maybe its because I havent found a roast profile for the Ismaili that brought out the best of it and even then its pretty good. The Malabar is a pretty easy bean to roast, and my preference is to stop this one just at the first snap of SC.

    This week? :

    Definitely the MTE Bin 549!

    but then ... Ethiopian Mt Gabbana Forest Estate Limu is pretty awesome ... Panama Boquete is up there ... I really enjoyed the PNG Wahgi ... dont mind the Yemeni coffees at all ... Kimel is a perennial favourite ... the El Salvador San Emilio was great (but is all gone) ...

    Tis a hard question as each years crop is different ... and then what I feel like drinking varies from day to day ... so its always good to keep a few tonnes stashed to keep up with my every whim

    In my limited experience...

    Ethiopian Harrar (Blue Horse) - blueberry note is amazing and unique... and transforms into a rich buttery flavour in milk.
    Ugandan Bugisu (CS starter pack :P) - rich choc with jammy fruit note. Perfectly balanced.
    Ethiopian Yirg is also amazing.

    Cheers,
    Stuart.

    Such a hard question as crops change year to year. My top 3 :

    Sumatran Mandheling Kuda Mas 05
    Ethiopian Yirgacheff 01
    Panama Gran Del Var 06

    I dont know a single word of the language written or spoken in Yemen but "Bani" seems to be roughly analogous to "Region" so the Bani Mattar is from the region Mattar and the Bani Ismaili from Ismail....
    I think Bani in Arabic means "the sons of" or tribe, which also means region since
    a tribe occupies a region.
    Ismail is the Arabic spelling of Ishmael - son of Abraham in the bible story.

    I like PNG Wahgi AA and Ethiopian Limmu also Kenya AA ranks pretty high with me. I.m looking forward to trying Yemen Bani Ismaili when I pick it up.

    Never had these Mal
    Have they ever been offered on Bean Bay?
    Is Yemen Mocha Bani Mattar the same as the last BeanBay offer of Yemen Bani Ismail??
    The Yemen Bani Ismail is the same as Yemen Mocha Ismaili but the Bani Mattar is from a different region. I dont know a single word of the language written or spoken in Yemen but "Bani" seems to be roughly analogous to "Region" so the Bani Mattar is from the region Mattar and the Bani Ismaili from Ismail....

    Hope thats as clear as mud KK....

    I quite like the PNG Kimel which is my regular roast.
    I still have 30kg of it so theres little danger of running out in a hurry as I also have 30kg of other beans to try to find a favourite.

    I roasted up some Peruvian Chemana tonight, but I only had 300g of it so it hopefully doesnt turn out to be my favourite.

    Without doubt, Yemen Mocha Ismaili closely followed by Yemen Mocha Bani Mattar (a.k.a Yemen Mocha Mattari Ban)....
