Advice on second green beans to buy.

[beensean]

... Ethiopian Yirgacheffe being one of my favorites, I find it a very easy green to roast and the flavours are quite intense.

As one who started roasting only late last year, I agree with this. Whether or not by chance, I have found it easier to get a good roast and flavour with this bean. Of course, my comparison list is pretty short at this stage

I'm big on beans of African origin, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe being one of my favorites, I find it a very easy green to roast and the flavours are quite intense.

G'day "Truman49"...

My pick would be to grab a bag or two of "Sulawesi Blue" or "Sulawesi Rante Kapua Torajah". If you prefer a cleaner and less earthy texture, then the RKT would probably be the one to go for. Both will add great body and mouthfeel to the end result in the cup but I do enjoy the added soft spiciness provided by the Blue. I'd go with a ratio of 60/40 Colombian/Sulawesi and pull before 2nd-Crack at around the point where the batch starts to emit lots of Blue Smoke...

Have fun,

The Ethiopian Gambella Sundried is a great option, it would go well with the Volcan Galeras or as a single origin.

Hi guys, so I started roasting using Colombian Volcan Galeras beans. Had mixed results but have managed to dial in my system. I’m wanting to buy a 2nd bean to try. Something with a different flavour to the Colombian and even something that I can maybe blend with it when I get to that stage?

Any suggestions?
