and happy holidays to all from bccy. i've spent mine drinking oren's fantastic kona from greenwell farms.
oren gets a special selection from them that's quite noteworthy. seriously — you would expect fine coffee from a farm that's been winning awards since 1873.
many coffee lovers will roll their eyes at the mention of kona, arguing it's overpriced, it's not rare, quality, etc. etc. but a lovely kona is a rare product — nothing fills your house with floral fragrance like a freshly ground high quality kona.
and at christmas it's pleasant to be able to feel a connection to the coffee farmer on a traditional american family farm.
today i'm spending with oren's yemen, which i've discussed before. o's yemen is a fascinating, complex but clean coffee.
it's a great switch from andrew's enchanting and oh-so-lightly blue sidamo. but how that blue does ecco!

and just when had spent what seemed an endless stretch of the dawn staring into andrew's empty ecco bag, shuddering with sobs that the brazil was no more, i breeze on into work and discover a pound of his ethiopian sidamo, an organic bean from kemal abdellah waiting to rescue me.
andrew describes this as a berry basket (yummy - you can just imagine that little straw basket filled with delicious, delicate, perfumed mixed berries. . .) and with a dutch cocoa finish. well, he had me at hello with that one.
you can bet this is going to be brewed first thing tomorrow! thank you, andrew!
