The Backstory:
Yemen, located just south of Saudi Arabia at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula,is a region known for their unique, vibrant coffees. Coffee is grown on terraces carved into the rugged terrain, and cherries are hand-picked on small family farms. Since Yemen coffee is grown at high elevations with little rainfall, the beans are sun-dried (natural), which tends to enhance the sweetness of the cup.
This complex coffee is characterized by notes of earthy fruits and cherries, much like those of its Ethiopian neighbors. The pleasant savory taste, creamy body, and fruity aromas of Yemen coffee
make it one of the most intriguing cups the region has to offer.

The Backstory:
Colombia is the second largest producer of coffee in the world and the largest producer of washed and Arabica coffee. They are well known for their high quality coffee and about half of their exports come to the United States.
This particular type is Excelso; this term is a coffee grading term in Colombia. Excelso coffee beans are large, but slightly smaller than Supremo coffee beans. Excelso coffee beans are a screen size of 15-16. Colombian coffee is graded before shipment according to bean size. It is possible that Supremo and Excelso coffee beans are harvested from the same tree, but they are sorted by it's size. The greatest volume of exported coffee is Excelso. These beans include good-to-large flat beans and some peaberries.
Antioquia/Medellin is one of the larger coffee growing areas in Colombia. Medellins have a medium body and are typically not as fruity/winey as coffees from other Colombian regions. The cup is well balanced and can be enjoyed at any time of day!

Happy Thursday!
Well, the heat, humidity and thunderstorms continue to be with us almost daily. As much as I love watching the rain fall, I'm ready for some sunnier days -without the heat and humidity would be nice. ;-) Summer is still here and people are still vacationing. When we go on vacation, we bring our own
coffee and coffee equipment. One of the easiest things to bring with you is a French press. We have a selection of
Bodum French presses that might meet your needs. AND they are on sale! Maybe you're in the mood for iced tea instead. Take a look at our
tea selection.
T-sacs are perfect for loose leaf tea. A great method for making iced tea, especially in this heat, is to make sun tea. It's rather simple: Scoop about 5-6 teaspoons of loose leaf tea into a #3 t-sac. Place in a glass container,
fill with water and cap. Place outside where the sunlight can strike the container for about 3 to 5 hours. Move the container if necessary to keep it in the sun. When the tea has reached its desired strength, remove from sun and put it in the refrigerator. You may or may not want to remove the tea bags at this point. Enjoy!
Have a great week!
Debbie, Jim and Sean
