Mr
LGB Summer is our Summer Espresso Blend for those who are looking
for something clean, fruity or excellent with milk.
The
first part is, again, a Yirgacheffe. This Kochere is picked
southwest of the town of Yirga Cheffe and near a little village of
Ch'elelek'tu in the Gedeo zone.
The
plantation is situated around 2000 masl!
It's
from various Heirloom Varientals.
Our
volume on Kochere is relatively low, so possibly we will have
another Ethiopian bean taking over by the end of August.
The
second component is a yearly classic. And
we're so fond of it that we bought the full European lot this
year.
The
coffee comes out of Costa Ricas' most famous region Tarrazu, more
precisely San Marcos. The man running the farm is called Mario
Solis.
This
bean grows at an 1650 meter altitude and the variety is a mix of
Caturra, Catuai and Geisha(!).
This
coffee is a real espresso championship coffee; very well balanced,
powerful, nice body and super clean.
Last
washed bean is one from Kenya. First 2 beans are relatively low in
acidity and therefor we needed something with more fruitiness and
acidity to help cut through the milk.
We
chose this Peaberry coffee from Cooperative Societies, Nyeri -
Kirinyaga.
A
very well balanced bean (SL 28/34) that makes the blend also
suitable for filter brewing.
Don't
hesitate to tell us what you think about this unique Seasonal
Specialty Coffee Blend.
