Coffee suggestions:
--Costa Rica San Francisco 1900 Tarrazu microlot - New 2011 crop just arrived second half June. A direct trade coffee and perennial favorite of ours from the very rugged Tarrazu region. A particularly high grown coffee with concentrated flavors, crisp and clean lemony acdity, lavender notes. Grown by Hector Bonilla on one of his choicest land parcels and then carefully processed at the Don Mayo micromill, which he also owns and operates.
--Panama Elida Estate Reserve - Another great favorite at Willoughby's and it is also a direct trade coffee. Wilford Lamastus, whom we have worked with for years, grows and processes this coffee high in the Boquete region of Panama, near the Baru volcano. It is a sweet and elegant coffee and has been in the top ten of numerous competitions. A few years ago Coffee Review gave us 95 points for it when they assessed coffees from Panama.
--India A Elkhill Estate - We have been trying to acquire India Elkhill for the past few years and finally have it back again, after persistent attempts with the Estate; all has gone to Europe in recent years. In 2007 Coffee Review gave us 95 points, one of the highest reviews at that time. This coffee had developed a large following among our customers and glad to say we have it once again for your enjoyment.
