Coffee overview A new name to us, we don't know much about Efren Rodriguez or his farm. But he created a very nice washed Pink Bourbon here, and one that displays some overtly malic qualities along with a nice amount of florality in the finish. Coffee flavor profile Red apple, rhubarb, orange…

Coffee overview An early season Kenya from one of our favorite factories last year. Big acidic complexity here, some of our favorite tartaric characteristics, and a fair amount of florality sussed out. Quite a bit going on here. Coffee flavor profile Raspberry lemonade, concord grape, rose hips.…

Coffee overview A beautifully tropical, highly floral, and intriguingly sweet Gesha harvest from Juan Peña. I think there is more complexity here than in the last few years, especially with the presentation of tart tropical and citrus fruits. The florality is quite pungent on this one as well.…

Coffee overview Our first release from the vaunted Juan Peña this year. As the years have gone by, it is interesting to note how this staple harvest has changed, both in green attributes and in roasting profile. There is a very sticky sweetness to this coffee, easily overtuned. We've ticked this…

Coffee overview Our last Peru release of the season comes from Efrain Carhuallocllo and his famed El Cerro Gesha plot. This was one of our most popular coffees last year, and we are happy to report another great cup profile this year. It is very dynamic, showing juicy/creamy tropical notes upfront,…

Coffee overview Another plummy Caturra field blend on deck for this month, from another mainstay here at H&S. Ernedis Rodriguez has been a producer we've purchased from for 7 years now, and we always purchase the lot that produces the bulk of his yearly income -- a Caturra dominant field blend.…

Coffee overview It has been a while since a heavy funk drop. This is it. Funk level 2 for unnatural funk, this anaerobic natural Papayo presents huge flavors in a highly fermented format. Big grape soda up front, slightly balsamic depending on brew method, leads into concentrated fruit formats…

Coffee overview A washed Java that provides unique notes in a clean format. Juicy, tart strawberry up front gives way to softer pear sweetness and an unmistakable star anise tea-like finish. Quite unique to have these notes in such a clean cup. Very fun! Coffee flavor profile Strawberry, Danjou…

This coffee is profiled on the lighter end of ultralight, and we recommend an extended rest to pop the most tropicals out of it…

Coffee overview Kageyo has superb sweetness, offering a jammy mouthfeel, along with a rounded presentation of acidity and finish. This is a thick coffee, listed notes present in a syrupy and jammy manner, even the black tea note is viscous. We still recommend ~30 days of rest for this one, though…

Coffee overview Peru stunner #2 of the season arrives with another superbly complex profile. This lot contains multitudes, from a bracingly citric acidity (the bitterness of grapefruit or yuzu is apt), to sublimely layered floral notes of osmanthus, jasmine, honeysuckle, and others. This is a bit…
