Based on another thread, I was asked to repost an interesting croudsource of information on the coffee we buy:
Make your replies fit the following format;
- Location: at least your country, not the beans.
- Retailer: Were did you buy your beans?online, brick and mortar. Be specific.
- Beans: If a blend, name the brand and type. If single origin, give the detes, i.e. country of origin, region, farm, processing method, elevation
- Roast: Light, medium, dark, french …
- Advertized tasting notes: e.g. stone fruit, sweet, balanced acidity.
- Your tasting notes: Do you agree with the advertized cupping notes? Why?
- Price per unit: e.g. $/lb or £/kg etc…
With any luck we might discover hidden gems, or discover a new favourite or maybe a bargain.
+1 on the great lake countries’ beans. In addition to your list, I get consistently superior beans from Kenya, Tanzania and Burundi. Collectively they are my usual 2nd fav and if $$$ no object only get bumped to 3rd by Jamaican Blue Mountain.
I totally forgot about Burundi! Definitely one of my favorite single origins.
