So I’ve been pretty much the most hopeless blogger on the planet lately. I’ll get back on top of things soon, I’m sure.

It is a stunningly complex bean this one. Such class.

Hmm, ooh, Hazel’s Brasilian offerings, the Alvarado Plot and the Moreninha Formosa, are delightfully balanced creatures. Oh, as was the Colombian El Cafetero from AIR that was yummy peach and vanilla.
Getting some delightful brews out of the Driver Brewer; more variables, more fun.
Currently also have two bags of the Guatemala San Fransisco Tecaumburo from Coffee Alchemy; one roasted for spro, and one for filter.
