Founded and managed by the Sampieri family, Finca El Huizache lies in the middle of the Sierra Madre Occidental. The farm itself is located within range of the humid air of the Caribbean. This finca
has differentiated itself from farms around it by producing small lots of honey and natural process coffee. Look for complex, delicate notes of baking spice.
Cupping Notes:
Delicate sweetness, cedar, apricot, vanilla, apple pie
From the Central Rift Valley, this
coffee truly represents the best
Ethiopia has to offer. This storied
coffee is dried in the cherry to
accentuate natural fruit flavors.
The cup is vibrant and crisp, full of
black cherry, berry and light citrus.
After a whirlwind trip to pick up our daughters at college, we are back and in full swing. Coffee sales have greatly picked up! So, we had to order a small pallet of green coffee to fill in what we are selling out of. That should be arriving sometime next week. In August, we will be traveling to Panama; partly to visit one of our daughters who has an internship there this summer and partly to visit a coffee farm or two. Look for some new Panama coffee on our shelves sometime in the fall.
The two coffees we have on special this week are unique in the processing. The Mexico Finca El Huizache Honey coffee does NOT have added honey. It is one of many processing methods where part of the coffee cherry is stripped off the bean prior to sun-drying, while the remaining fruit is left on the bean. Another name for this method is semi-natural. It gives the beans a sweetness( AKA honey) from the fruit that transfers into a delicate flavor profile.
The Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Misty Valley is a full natural. It is different from our regular Ethiopia Yirgacheffe in that it is totally sun-dried in the coffee cherry prior to processing. This naturally gives it a fruity flavor of cherry and berry vs. the citrusy flavors found in the regular Yirgacheffe.
Drinking coffee is like drinking wine. So many different flavor profiles without any additives. So, go ahead and experiment a little. You never know what you may find that you like!
Have a wonderful week!
Debbie and Jim
