Light roast washed process arabica typica from Dalat, Vietnam and it is very good. I just received some light roast washed process Yellow Bourbon beans also from Vietnam but I don’t recall the region that I will brew next week since they are quite fresh.
RAVE Kenya Gatini Nyeri 215 just arrived, and it’s the best smelling bag of beans I’ve had all year. V60 was good, and I’m really looking forward to trying it as an espresso.
I’ve had a Vietnamese Coffee press for several years now but I’ve just discovered that coconut milk is the secret sauce. So I’ve been having Iced Vietnamese every morning.
I’ve gotten bored with the Mexican organic dark roast, which I still have a good amount of , so I opened a bag of Kuai Coffee Dark Roast 10% Hawaiian Coffee Koloa Estate that I got on sale at Safeway about a month or 2 ago.
After playing around with brew time, I think 5 minutes in my french press gives me a decent fruity and roasty flavor, although I don’t think I like it as much as the local Heirloom Coffee Roasters medium roast that I had before the Mexican.
It’s a strange taste. The fruitiness and roastiness don’t quite “jive”. It does taste like 2 different coffees that were mixed together.
But waaaay better than the store brand First Street Kona Blend.
The Mexican organic is whole beans, so it’ll keep while I work my way through the standard 12 oz bag of Kuai grounds, which should take about a month for me to finish.
Noir dark roast from Nirvana Soul. It’s my daily driver during fall-spring.
