Our 2008-09 crop is sold out!

We have been feverishly working on the 2009-10 crop lately. Just as last years crop, this years has been pulped, washed and dried into parchment. The beautiful color of the dried parchment is a tawny to golden and the beans quietly rest in our humidity controlled grainpro bags. July was our first pick, so that is the parchment we will begin using for our green bean as we prepare to roast. Three to four months is just the right amount of time for the parchment to age to a point that produces the intense flavors of our roasted coffees. So with a clang and shuffle we are now onto producing more of your favorite smooth and rich coffees. And the circle goes on because after the rain last week we saw some stray coffee blossoms here and there. We see picking in our future called the 2010-11 crop.
