cupping


cupped some sample roasts today: varietals that we are sort of auditioning for spots in our offering lineup.  highlights were a nice Rwandan with a zesty mix of plum and lime sensations and a delicate Costa Rican offering which balanced sweet butterscotch and caramel with a mild fruitiness.  we'll let you know if we pick any of those up, and also how the rest of our million bags of sample green taste.
