This coffee stems from a connection we’ve recently made with Brendan, the head importer of Newland Coffee Imports. Our relationship with Newland coffee (Brendan) began when we were cuppingCuppingThe standardized tasting ritual — coarse grounds steeped in hot water, crust broken, slurped from a spoon — used to score and compare coffees. with our friends at Necessity coffee in Encitas. Brendan happened to be there at the time and hopped into the cupping with us. He mentioned that he was an importer looking to get the ball rolling on this new venture of his and we exchanged info, kind of your typical networking chit chat. A month goes by I’m in the shop and Brendan swung by, said hi, and dropped off a sample of an auction lot of Guatemalan. We already have strong ties to the Villatoros in Huehue, so we weren’t expecting to bite on the sample. But we cupped it like we usually do samples and were pretty blown away by this bean’s complexity. We’re loving the aromatic nature of this coffee, with a super airy profile full of punchy tropical fruits and acid and rounded out with a very floral finish. -Jonathan
