Serious Select coffees roast and ship on Tuesdays (except as noted) and are sold on a
pre-ordered basis. They are packed in foil bags with one-way valves and
ship within hours of roasting. Outside of neighboring states we recommend you choose shipping via USPS Priority Mail.
If
you have other items ordered we will ship them along with your Serious
Select coffee. If you want other items shipped separately please enter
them as a separate order.
 Serious Select - In addition to all of the other great, freshly roasted
coffee we offer, we have committed to some coffees of special
distinction which are either very limited, exotic or both. These are Willoughby's Serious Select Coffees.
We
are participants in a number of international competitions as jurors,
such as the Cup of Excellence, now held in about eight countries a
year. These competitions seek to rank the best coffee in a particular
country in a given year. The coffees are later auctioned and the best
fetch a considerable price due to their excellence and scarceness. Some
Serious Select coffees derive from other single country competitions,
some from private auctions - like the world renowned Hacienda Esmeralda
from Panama - and still others are the product of experimentation by
growers pushing the envelope.
These highly
sought after and often more expensive coffees are what Serious Select
is all about. We will roast and ship Serious Select coffees on
Tuesdays, one or more coffees per week, so you may enjoy these coffees
at their absolute peak of flavor.
Roasting schedule:
This coffee will be roasted and shipped
on Tuesdays 2/7/12 and 2/14/12.
El Salvador Cup of Excellence Los Planes Bourbon
An international jury scored this coffee over 90, making it part of the rare club of Presidential award winners. Sergio Ticas Reyes, farm owner, grows both Bourbon and Pacamara varietals and each has won awards from the Cup of Excellence over the years. He is also very socially active within the community and is very involved with education and the funding of a local school project. This elegant coffee features citrus and crisp apple acidity with notes of vanilla, melon. Very clean and sweet, fruity and juicy with hints of dark chocolate. El Salvador Los Planes Bourbon information or to order.
