update - both are available until sold out, and as usual there is enough made for a week.Posted by Administrator
update - Misty Valley delivery was delayed, looking at this wednesday now. So I do have another secret siphon coffee instead, Mexico Nayarit; an unusually good dry-processed bean with intense chocolate character and a strong rustic fruited backdrop.
One of my favorite things to do is try to identify the country origin of a cup of coffee by drinking it. Coffee has more flavor compounds than wine and can produce a complex tasting cup and descriptions are often subtle.
Not the case with the Ethiopian Idido Misty Valley. It's so intense in sweet berry aroma that it's hard not to notice. It's a high quality dry-processed Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, which means the bean was dried with the cherry casing intact and later removed. Yirgacheffe coffees are often wet-processed because it's easier to pull out defects. The Idido farm meticulously visually sorts for the sweetest coffee cherries for their dry-processing which is really rare and shines as a consistently great cup.
I prepare enough for only one week at a time to keep it fresh.
