Hello Friends,

This week I am excited to bring to you a new coffee from Coava Coffee Roasters in Portland. They procured the 2nd place winner from the Taste of the Harvest Ethiopia contest. It is a natural Ethiopia that I am told is extremely clean while maintaining the beautiful notes of berries and melon that can come from a great Ethiopian coffee. Every year I search out a coffee that matches this description.

The coffee is from Kilenso Mokonissa. Coava had their importer separate out this lot that usually gets mixed in with other farms in a cooperative. We are losing many of our unique coffee experiences due to the economic benefits of cooperatives. It assures farmers of being able to sell their crop, but it also usually means that the coffee will be mediocre as the truly special coffees are mixed in with mediocre beans. The opportunity to taste an Ethiopian coffee of this calibre is getting more rare every year.

I will be serving this coffee on Friday, I would encourage people to get straight shots and short milk drinks to truly appreciate the flavors in this coffee.
