Id love to finally come to the pickup point meet at First Pour but  

You can always come for a coffee and a chat anyway.  We always have a few CSrs that freight their beans and then come to the pickup for the social stuff.

I really do want the Haiti Grand Cru

There should be enough for everyone this time but Im afraid once its gone its gone and we wont get access to this grade again till next year (at best).

LOL Andy, Ill be sitting here ready and waiting for 8:00pm on Sunday night, with everything else in my basket already Grin

Re: Monthly BeanBay GREEN Bean Sale - 14th Nov 2010

Excellent!!!

Ive really been craving some new beans to work with over the last few weeks so im glad to see the sale come around again, and even more glad to yet again see beans from regions that ive not had the chance to roast before.

Ive had some brown Malabar before and found it quite tricky, both in the grinder and the machine, but im keen to finally roast it myself and see what i can do with it.

I notice the Brazil Pulped is back, too.
Really need to get some for some of my planned blending experiments.

My list of wants/likely purchases is extra long this month.

Id love to finally come to the pickup point meet at First Pour but ill be hard pressed waiting the day or two for courier delivery, let alone waiting until the 27th.  :-[

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

Bolivia Green Mountain Estate $10/kg
Green Mountain Estate is located in the Caranavi high country of Bolivia and everything they produce is shade grown and certified organic by the Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA). This coffee produces a really big bodied espresso, smooth and heavy with low acidity and an initial sweetness at a CS9 roast depth. At a lighter CS8 roast it had a sharper, dryer finish and the sweetness not as pronounced but both worked well as a dopio and in milk.

Haiti Grand Cru de Beaumont $21/kg
We landed a tiny amount of this a while ago and it sold in 12 seconds. The rest of our shipment has just arrived so those that missed-out have a chance to try the very best that Haiti produce.

Indian Monsoon Malabar AA $9.50/kg
These beans have been left to dry in large warehouses that are exposed to the moist winds during the Indian monsoon season. This unique process leaves a bean with nearly no acidity, a pale colour and about 20% less density. In the espresso its all body with heavy jelly like crema which can be drunk as a single origin but also works well a component of a complex blend. NOTE: Due to the lower bean density these are packed in 2kg lots.

Nepal Plantec Estate

Peru Ceja de Selva Estate
Ethiopian Gambella Sundried
