Re: BeanBay GREEN bean Sale - Jan 10th 2010
Well done Andy. A great start to the year.
The Nicaraguan looks to be a must-have as does the Peaberry.

BeanBay GREEN bean Sale - Jan 10th 2010
Happy New Year 2010
2009 was a huge year for CoffeeSnobs everywhere and we proudly welcomed the 10,000th member last month. The year saw many get togethers, roast-offs and just a great vibe around the site with everyone sharing tip and tricks and of course, enjoying great coffee.
2010 will be an even bigger year! Currently we are setting-up the new Snobbery which should become one big playroom for all CSrs to fiddle with all sorts of coffee gear including beans, machines, grinders and even roasters. We should have a few training days/nights and of course we will also have tonnes of great coffee and social events throughout the year. Its going to be a blast.
Tomorrow sees the first BeanBay Green sale of the year. (Sorry for the short notice but we only just finished packing it all ready)

http://beanbay.coffeesnobs.com.au
on offer are:
Nicaragua Cima del Cielo $16.50/kg*
This came 3rd in the Nicaragua Cup of Excellence and we managed to land 300kg of it (so there is plenty to go around). This is a very chaffy coffee in the roaster and in the cup a mid bodied, very sweet and balanced coffee when roasted to a CS9 but those roasting for a syphon might go a little lighter than that.
PNG Wahgi Peaberry $10.50/kg*
The sample of this bean seemed to be forever ago and at last it has arrived. Like most peaberry beans it can be tricky to roast as things get really busy at the end of the roast but the results are well worthwhile. Like its flat bean cousin it is high in acidity and works really well in milk.
Sumatra Mandheling Gr1 2009 Crop $9.00/kg*
Ah, one of those really messy, dusty, chaffy Sumatrans that produce huge body and low acidity in the cup with a does of earthiness for interest. This was only picked two months ago and has come straight off the boat. Any fresher you would have to pick it yourself!
We have also landed a small amount of additional stock of some previous favourites and the remainder of the Tanzania Rononi will become available for those that need a second bag.
I hope that each and everyone of our extended CS family has a fantastic 2010 full of new and old friends, good family times and amazing coffee.
Enjoy!
Andy.
* all CoffeeSnob green beans are packed in 2.5kg cotton bags and include a $0.50/kg FairCrack donation.
