Vegas Baby!!!

Andre left a note on the fridge.

Winter is definitely here folks. We have been having some crazy kool mornings down here,
I think this is difinitely up there in my top 5 places to be on a cold day. On that note,it seems Andre can't handel the cold and is flying off to San Fransisco for a couple of weeks then finishing off his trip in Vegas. It was his last shift last night before he flys out on thursday and he seems pretty excited. Much love
"Tiki maBro-hey" Have one for us.

Capital awards are coming up in a couple of weeks and we have been nominated for outstanding bar and outstanding bartender so if you could spare a moment to vote for us Aaron will smile.

Last week we had some Brazil Moreninha Formosa raisin through chemex and it was pretty friendly.This coffee had some interesting aromas comming through. I got some subtle hints of yeast and a dominant aroma of bold dark roasted cocao. That cocao aroma followed through to variaty of chocolate flavours with undertones of dried fruits. Me and Aaron shared a chemex, we looked at each other and we laughed with delight, it was a pretty memorable moment.

We just got in some Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Today so Pop in for a brew! Hope you all have a great week

Colombia Medellin Excelso

Medellin, Colombia

Hey folks

New origin in this week from Coffee Supreme. We have been sipping on some Colombia Medellin Excelso and we think its pretty darn tasty. Colombia was the worlds second largest coffee producer until recently and is now ranked third behind Brazil and Vietnam. It is grown at the foothills of the Andes at an altitude of 1600m. The coffee is grown by small holding farmers and large co-operatives. 

This is a wet processed coffee and has been roasted to medium-dark. It has a rich aroma of honey, nuts and a savoury aroma of freshly baked bread. I tasted some nice cherry fruit notes with some deep earthy undertones that followed through to a nice lingering finish of caramel. I thought it had quite a low but crisp acidity. We have been enjoying this coffee and have had some positive feedback. Stay tuned for next weeks Origin of the week and just a reminder we will be offering both tea and coffee tastings in store.
 We hope you all have a Totes awesome weekend.

Take care everyone.
