I just have to say that this was one fabulous coffee. Funny how this was actually the first bag(the one we took to SF) I've tried that really popped. Not suprising since Silas worked on making sure George knew it would be going to Andrew Barnett as a gift. I cupped it ahead of time with Alex B, Silas, Miguel, Judson, Kaminsky, and even Asim dropped in. Coffee just didn't pop though. I was not sure why. Made a trip to exchange bags and it turns out it wasn't the coffee but a roast issue. It was something that happened at the roasterie. Luckily the bags we took to San Francisco were sweet and beautiful.
I always like to take some stuff like that when I go somewhere. I usually take some of Andrew's Epsresso or one of George's Kenyas or Yirgs. I find that is the best way to express who I am past all the talk. You like what I like, nice!
Coffees like this are a definte reason to get a clover.
It is better than Tegu and that's what is so shocking. The weird thing is since the flavors are not roast related, the aromatics and sweet fruit can fade quickly once the bag is open. I guess it's like a great bottle of wine, you want to drink it once it's open or else it's a waste to hoard it.

To me, it tastes like berry juice. It's different in that the "coffee flavor" is so subtle, and the origin flavors are so.. BAM! (for lack of a better word)
The flavors unique to this bean hit you in the face like a ton of bricks. It doesn't take a trained palate to find them, and appreciate them.
Suddenly, specialty coffee is exciting for the unwashed masses.
