We finally have news about our Ethiopian Beloyas!  They are in the country and on their way.  We will roast and ship any back orders on Monday, November 17th.  If you have not put in your order yet, order before 8:00 am, Monday the 17th, and we will roast and ship it that day.  For those who are not familiar with Ethiopia Beloya, it is a spectacular coffee that will truly stun your palate.  It is known for its distinct berry notes that explode in your mouth.  This year we received two different selections of this wonderful coffee.  The different selections are similar to each other, but they both have distinct characteristics that set each one apart from the other.

Selection number eight is more fruit-forward than selection number one. This coffee is for those who enjoy very dramatic coffees. The sweetness that comes through in the aroma is almost like berry-flavored cotton candy. In the cup the berry notes immediately jump out at you. These berry notes are complimented by a subtle and rich spiciness in the finish. This exciting cup of coffee is sure to awe the coffee-lover.

Selection number one is just as excellent, but has a different flavor profile than lot number eight. It is a very complete cup: it has a nice balance between the distinct berry notes and the smooth creaminess. The sweetness neither dominates nor fades. This coffee is an absolute pleasure to drink.
