Re: December BeanBay

You seem to have left out Adelaide as well, not to mention some of the regional areas. Im guessing Im in for a long wait before we get subsidised freight to the Southern Highlands.

Boy are you going to cop it from our Tassie members Felix.

Andy ya beat me to the punch!!! Never mind, were not bitter, we are used to being excised from the Mainland in the nationalist consciousness.  >

We console ourselves by having fresh drinkable water in quantity and no potential nuclear power generators being built on our petit island paradise  ;D  ;D  ;D

Canberra might be do-able, just need a small handful of members to try it out. We can see what the interest is in the new year.

we will also have Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth pickup points.

Yesterday - Melbourne and Sydney;
Today  - Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth;
Tomorrow - the World (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Canberra)?

Re: December BeanBay

Did you have a suggestion of a venue?
(with good parking, 12-15 seats, good or at least interesting coffee and fairly central to the city)

No suggestion, just trying to find out (and maybe hand over some bling...)
Busy month for me though.

Re: December BeanBay

Andy - the pickup date for perth will ahve to be a week day as Epic is only open weekdays. But will establish a management plan this end if people cant make a set time.

Re: December BeanBay

I am definitely going to be in on the Orange Pekoe if there is any going, or the darjeeling.


When can I put in my order??? (not that I am impatient or anything )

Re: December BeanBay

Any plan for the Melbourne pickup point/date?

There will be one! Brisbane, Perth and Sydney are all looking like Saturday the 9th of Dec as the safe date (although with prompt payment and good freight they may be there before that date).

Melbourne might scrape-in for the weekend before that (2nd or 3rd) if for no other reason than the following weekend is the Toy Run and I would hate to miss that ( http://www.toyrun.org.au ).

Re: December BeanBay

Wooohooo

Super Fine Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe - grade 1

First flush and fresh to boot!
It just doesnt get much better than that


BTW: in a belated answer to "how long does tea stay fresh?" post in another thread... the Earl Grey had a "Best before June 2009" printed on the case and if the current aroma of the teas is anything to go by it might be pretty close to right.

Just a quick heads-up to let you know that the next CoffeeSnobs BeanBay will be full of beans as soon as the Victorian State Election Polls close at 6pm this Saturday.

In the December BeanBay you will find:

A small amount of last months beans (if you under ordered one of these)
Costa Rica Turrialba
Kenya AA
Brazil Monte Alegre

Some Decaf:
DECAF Ethiopian Yirgacheffe

One commercial pre-blend
Altitude Premium Blend

Some specialty tea:
Tea - Indian Darjeeling SFTGFOP-1
Tea - Ceylon Earl Grey

A range of specialty single origin beans from all over the planet:
Dominican Republic Barahona AAA
Colombian Caracolito Peaberry
El Salvador AA
Ethiopian Limu
Indonesian Sulawesi Torajah Kalossi Gr.1


In addition to our normal express post freight offerings we will also have Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth pickup points.

Please note: This will be the last BeanBay for the year and due to Christmas and the New Year period (people on holidays, suppliers closed, freight difficulty) the next BeanBay will be late January or early February 2007.

The beans will be available from 18:00 25th Nov 2006.
