Aw crap. Another BeanBay where the beans on offer are too hard to resist.

Well done Andy on securing this lot. Many of us having been looking forward to the next Tanzanian Fair Crack offering. I hope theres plenty to go around (but I still have some Rononi left)

Monthly BeanBay GREEN Bean Sale

THURSDAY 11th August
20:00 AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time)

8pm QLD, ACT, NSW, VIC, TAS
7.30pm SA, NT
6pm WA

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

Burundi Kayanza Kinyovu Lot 1.
This is the first Burundi that we have landed and its a ripper.  Lots of fruit and enough acidity to cut through the milk.  Great espresso shots with body and almost a dried apricot finish.  This is a true micro lot from north Burundi, one of the hardest places in Africa to ship from so the wait for the next one might be a while. $16.50/kg*

Tanzanian Uru Estate
Uru Estate is located between Moshi and Mt Kilimanjaro and managed by Bente Luther-Medoch.  Bente is a name familiar with CoffeeSnobs as our lady on the ground in Tanzania who has done some amazing work with our FairCrack projects over the last few years.  This estate coffee sets a new benchmark for just how amazing Tanzanian coffee can be.  The farm is Rain Forest Alliance (RFA) certified and thanks to Ralph, it was shipped here in Grainpro bags to ensure it arrived in perfect condition. It roasts well and produces a big bodied cocoa espresso shot with plenty of sweetness and blackcurrant like fruit flavours.  Stunning coffee. $12.50/kg*


Tanzania Kyaurinde FairCrack Pulped.
Kyaurinde was the fourth pulper that FairCrack funded, we also funded new above ground drying racks so this coffee really has a strong connection with us.  The coffee was picked from wild coffee trees on the southern slopes of Mt Kilimanjaro within walking distance of the village.  All the cherry was then bought back to the central pulping unit (CPU) and pulped, then dried before going to the mill for final processing and bagging.  Ralph also had this packed in Grainpro bags and it shipped with the Uru Estate coffee.  In the cup it has great body, a zing of brightness and ripe fruits with a spicy peppery cocoa finish at CS10. $12.50/kg*


* price per kilo packed in 2.5kg CoffeeSnobs cotton bags and includes the FairCrack $0.50/kg donation.
