			<title>Nature&#039;s coffee picker - <strike>Brazil Jacu Bird</strike> soldout</title>
			<link>http://www.cafebalcony.com/index.php?entry=entry080806-151825</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<b>The South American Jacu bird</b><br /><img src="images/jacu.jpg" width="384" height="342" border="0" alt="" /><br />The body is heavy and acidity low making a super smooth coffee with molasses and brown bread tones. There is a slight black pepper note in the finish.<br /> <br />Now about the novelty:<br />This funky south American creature has a select appetite for the ripest shade grown coffee cherries. <br />After digestion the pits (coffee beans still covered in parchment) are collected out of it  droppings (seriously) cleaned, roasted, brewed and drunk (still serious).  <br /><br />Unlike the infamous civet cat, it is not force fed because it does not impart some &quot;special&quot; flavor on the low grade robusta beans it eats.  <br /><br />The point is having a really great quality Brazilian coffee chosen by nature&#039;s coffee selector.<br /><br />It will be available this week only or until sold out! SOLD OUT<br />]]></description>

			<title>This week&#039;s special limited edition siphon coffee: <strike><b>ETHIOPIAN SIDAMO</b></strike></title>
			<link>http://www.cafebalcony.com/index.php?entry=entry080403-015504</link>
			<description><![CDATA[We brought back the <strike>organic Ethiopian Sidamo</strike> for this week.  Most African coffees have a floral or berry character.  The Sidamo is very berry-like.  In fact it&#039;s hard not to pick up the blueberry and apricot aroma and fragrance.  This is a coffee you won&#039;t find in most places because coffee roasters who usually blend coffees won&#039;t match this coffee&#039;s character with any other beans.  It&#039;s hard to blend a Sidamo so they can only sell it as a Varietal coffee. So please enjoy it while we have it!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I haven&#039;t been very good at posting the last few special coffee beans.  But We just finished off a Colombia Antioquia Supremo that was so excellent I will reorder it.  The week after that we had Kenya AA Nyeri, after that an Ethiopia Limu, and after that a Costa Rica Naranjo Caracol.  Coming up next:<br /><br /><b>Organic Panama Boquete - Los Lajones</b><br /><br />]]></description>

			<link>http://www.cafebalcony.com/index.php?entry=entry080219-202209</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Peaberry coffees are the mutant X-Men of coffee beans.  Normally a coffee cherry contains two beans.  A coffee cherry with only one bean is called a peaberry.  They have a smaller rounder size and their flavor is more robust and acidic.<br /><br />This week&#039;s special coffee:<br /><strike><b><br />Kenya Muranga - Kianderi Peaberry</b></strike><br />is aromatically floral with a mild scent of vanilla and sweet cereal.  It is also has unabashedly bright lemony high notes.]]></description>
