favourite coffees

ok I had an El Salvador Finca Suize micro lot (its actually the lot NEXT to the lot that won cup of excellence!) yesterday - roasted for filter and the flavours were astounding: lychee and gooseberries come to mind on a dried fruit and nut infused palate

not the sort of things that you would expect to find in a coffee but delicious nevertheless

and when a well known wine maker describes the same coffee as 'very approachable' - you know you're onto a winner!

what have others been enjoying lately?

thanks to the good folk at market lane for my sensational coffee

Favourite coffee - most of them  ;D Most of the Geisha varietal when they are roasted correctly and fresh as a Syphon. Best one of the year was a Candelilla from Market Lane, also a great roast from Mecca of the Esmeralda. This years crop of Esme in Oz was not as good as a the one a couple of years ago IMO. Favourite for the year would still have to be the Nekisse from Mecca. The great thing with coffee is there is bound to be a new favourite right round the corner

One of the stand-outs for me this year is Nicaragua - Cima del Cielo (CoE) Followed by Peru - Ceja de Salva Estate KK

A couple of standouts for me this year have been the Ethiopian Nekisse and Ethiopian Amaro Gayo, both amazing coffees, especially as syphon or pourover.
