Cupping this Saturday 10 A.M.

Free cupping this Saturday at 10:00.

We will be cupping as many samples as we can fit on the two tables. I have 30 samples from all over the world. Ever taste coffees from Sulawesi, Yemen, Bolivia next to each other?

We'll be picking out some stars and talking about blending, sample roasting, etc.

Join us for an informational informal coffee tasting session - we'll start just after 10. Takes anywhere from 10- 50 minutes depending on your interest and palette stamina!


JUST ARRIVED!

BRAZIL Ambiental Fortaleza Jose Anivaldo-

The coffee and espresso base we've been waiting for!

A truly wonderful coffee, rock solid nutty sweet floral, with this amazing buttered toast aftertaste that makes for a really creamy espresso. Just developing the next blend now. Join us Saturday for the first crack at it.

Price $11.99/ 14 oz. Availability- 10 bags in Grainpro sacs.
You'll love it, it's sublime.

Valentine's Day 2010

Brewing now:


Valentine's day Spring Espresso Blend also called BE- MINE Blend.
As an espresso: Spicy, sweet, cuts through milk with smoke and dark cherry.
As a brewed coffee- balanced, sweet, deep chocolate, nuts.


COMING NEXT WEEK!

We will be extending our hours to 7:00 P.M. Join us for evening specials-
$1 coffee after 5:00 P.M.!
Yup, recession buster deals in effect. Grab a pick-me up on your way home from work, but remember that the flavor, as well as the caffeine, will boost your spirits.

New Desserts:

Fresh Fruit Tart:
Look at that! Awesome. They're as delicious as they look!


New Coffees:

We are offering a Sumatra Mandheling double picked that is sweet and clean, the best Sumatra I've had since the Lake Tawar 2007. Pronounced green pepper and spice notes, but singularly more clean than Sumatras from last year- great aftertaste.
$12.99 for 14 oz. Also makes a great Single Origin Espresso! Syrupy, smoky, sweet, memorable!


Tanzania Peaberry Songea, very sweet- undeniably sweet, even for the "I just want a plain coffee"- crowd.
Stonefruit, peach, and chocolate notes, especially as it cools. Very creamy, very bright. Great morning coffee- lasts with you all day.
$12.99 for 14 oz. A little too intense as an espresso, but great in blends. Piquant.

ROGUE CHOCOLATE!

We are stocked with Rogue Chocolate for Valentine's day: Three single origin chocolates. Read more about Colin's adventures and fantastic chocolate at www.roguechocolatier.com.
