    The first time I had Bali Blue Moon was from Buddy Brew Coffee. I don’t know what about this coffee that struck me. Maybe it was the name or the notes that they described in the coffee, but it was a coffee I wanted to enjoy again. I decided that I wanted to find some [...]

    August 26th, 2010 | Blog, Home Roasting | Jamie | No Comments

    Debbie Ring from Kona Cloud Coffee sent me an email the other day wondering if I would like to roast up some Hawaiian Kona Peaberry. I couldn’t pass up roasting up some Kona so I agreed. I haven’t roasted any rare coffee myself for the fear of messing it up. Well, fear caught up to [...]

    I haven’t had any Guatemala Antigua that I can recall so this was a nice first. What drew me to this particular crop was the word “chocolate bomb” that was in the description. That was it. There was nothing else I needed to read. The coffee was ordered, and I was anxious to get this [...]
