... there is so much going on behind the scenes!

So... there are no new coffees this month, but it's prime time for approving samples from some of our favorite Central and South American coffee producing countries. We have many lots of new Colombia Las Mingas in the sample roasting queue, along with new Panama Hartmann Honey and a whole slew of Cup of Excellence auctions just around the corner. Tomorrow is the El Salvador CoE auction, and I can't wait to see how some of my favorites do! The CoE Costa Rica auction will take place next Thursday, and while we haven't even roasted these samples yet, I know there are going to be some beautiful mild coffees in that group. In any case, visit the blog on Friday to see if we bid on any El Salvs!

Later this month we will also begin to see arrival samples of some of the coffees we've purchased earlier this spring. We've got two (that's 2) east African coffees that are going to hit American soil in late June / early July. Kenya Gatomboya is first on my 'Eagerly Awaiting' list. The Kenyan lots that we've purchased in March are really killer, and I really can't wait to see them on our offering list. The second coffee on its way is our new crop Ethiopia Amaro Gayo. This will be the first of hopefully many years we will be offering this solid fruit bomb Ethiopian. Much more to come on the new release tip in July!
