Today's News.
New Coffee.
I just had to take an hour or so off from creating this b-blog to take part in one of my favourite activities - taking in a new green coffee delivery. Anyone who knows us at all will be aware that this is one of those tasks at H&V that is all done by my own bare hands. A pallet of 12 bags of green coffee may be an insignificant drip in the global coffee ocean, but when you have to lift, drag and wrestle with each full 60-70 kg sack, you begin to feel "at one" with your product. We've already put the new coffees up in the online store in the "old site", and will be roasting all the outstanding orders tomorrow morning to get them to customers for saturday morning enjoyment.
Three or four coffees that went out of stock come straight back in :
Bourbon Espresso
Mountain Blend
Brazil Cachoeira Bourbon
Celebes Kalosi
Ethiopia Yirgacheffe
and we have two new coffees for us :
Colombia "Relationship" Quebradon (from Huila district)
and one I'm really looking forward to getting to grips with after hearing my supplier's ravings,
Nicaragua "Finca Linda Vista" from Nueva Segovia district, a national prize winning Strictly High Grown single farm coffee grown at an altitude of 1560 metres near the north western border. The green aspect looks perfect, just the deep green I always hope for as the sign of a well - rested gourmet coffee.
Want to try already? Just go the online store now!
