Nicaragua COE - Coop Luis Alberto Alvarez, PRODECOOP

Two bags of our Nicaragua Cup of Excellence arrived earlier this week. Andrew quickly and skillfully, roasted a pound on the sample roaster for the cupping today. This coffee is amazing - sweet with a bright lemony acidity perfectly balanced with a creamy milk chocolate mouthfeel.

Look for 1/2# bags to be sold in our cafés in the coming months (or month). Only 249# left!

We also cupped an interesting Australian Mountaintop that arrives green in a box. Unique. Body 'til next week highlighted by cedar-like aroma. Makes us want to be mountain men.

Join us again next week for our weekly Friday cupping - 2pm every Friday at Kaldi's Coffee Roasting Company - 700 St. Bernard's Lane, StL, MO 63110.
