Re: BeanBay GREEN sale - MONDAY 3rd May 2010

I just finished off a roast of the 35 this morning and I think I still had 750g left too.

All thats missing now is the surprise announcement of Yemen on Monday to make it a really great Beanbay :

who would have thought!

Spoilt eh! We are working on some other interesting direct trade beans this year too, its always a long process to land them but well worth the effort to get amazing coffees.

Sounds a little like the MTE Bin 35

Yes, same amazing processing but these are from a specific microlot, I can show you the actual row of trees these came from (which is pretty funky!).

had to love Bin 35

I still have a small stash of the Bin35, I should do a side-by-side to see how they compare.

We will also have another MTC microlot next month, semi washed process though which in the samples gave bigger body and traded-off a little of the sweetness and fruit.

BeanBay GREEN BEAN sale

Monday 3rd May

2000 QLD, ACT, NSW, VIC, TAS (8pm)
1930 SA, NT
1800 WA
http://beanbay.coffeesnobs.com.au

The beans available at the above date/times will be:


Cuba Turquino $13/kg*
This bean comes from an origin that due to political unrest and embargos means that it doesnt appear very often. This one roasted to a CS9 produced an espresso that was initially very sweet with a good body and then a long dry nearly peppery aftertaste similar to the tannins in strong black tea. A very unique coffee that we rarely see in this high a grade.


Kenya Kagunyu AA $12.50/kg*
This is a washed, well processed bold bean with the unmistakable bright, citrus, sharp Kenyan acidity that makes it stand-up as a single origin espresso. This beans will take a lot of heat during roasting ending very bright at CS8-9 or take it to CS10 for some deeper cocoa notes.


Venezuela San Cristobal $11.50/kg*
The San Cristobal is a large screen, washed and well processed beans from an unusual coffee origin. Easy to roast and good acidity make this a great single origin for milk based drinks. Our test roasts were at CS9-10 and were slightly sweet and well balanced.


Australia Mountain Top Estate Microlot - D10-205 $27/kg*
Double Pass process, Extra Fancy grade. A truly amazing single origin Australian coffee. Even as a green bean this coffee produces an amazing sweet, fruity smell that excites the senses and builds the anticipation of the roasted bean. In the cup it doesnt disappoint with a medium body full of sultanas and fruit cake with a sweet lingering aftertaste. Stunning!

We also have stock of:

Peru Ceja de Selva Estate
Indian Monsoon Malabar AA
Ethiopian Gambella Sundried
Brazil Pulped Natural
PNG Wahgi AA
