New Coffees to Get Excited About
Two new coffees are here this week, available by press pot or pourover. So far, only Belle has cupped the Finca San Jose, none of us have tried the others. So for now we're going to give you tasting notes from Intelligentsia's cuppers:
Surfacing above the hearty wine-like body and grapefruit-inspired acidity are hints of peach, guava, apricot, mango, and a myriad of other ripe fruit nectars that resolve gracefully into a warm and clean finish of clove, cinnamon and sweet molasses. Its broad-ranging appeal is certain to excite the taste buds of both the adventuresome and casual sipper.
Begins as smooth baker’s chocolate and dried berry. The body is firm but not overbearing as hints of orange spice and cardamom emerge in the center. Notably, the coffee blooms in the finish, letting baking spice and licorice notes effloresce to add complexity and length to the taste experience.
Additionally we've got Tanzania Edelweiss Finagro Estate, Colombia Tres Santos, Honduras La Tortuga, Nicaragua Los Delirios and Panama El Machete.
This is the largest number of origins we've had in quite some time, which is nice given the sparse choices of this past Spring. Such is life when your roaster is fanatical about only selling coffee within a short time frame after harvest. The trade off is freshness vs. year-round convenience of purchasing.
Come in and try some of the new offerings.
