Coffee should be processing in Virginia today, for delivery either Saturday or Monday..
Here's a pic from Guatemala of 60lbs of New Oriente ready to ship.

The final choice was
ORIGIN. GUATEMALA
REGION. NEW ORIENTE
MICROREGION: MATAQUESCUINTLA
It was the highest scoring coffee @ 91

Being able to do #1 loads (instead of #5) will be nice.

Sean was kind enough to offer a sample of each of the three coffees he just received. I agreed to roast and taste. Here are the roasting notes, as interesting as they can be from a Gene Cafe.

Coffee: Guatemala San Marcos Tajumulco La Igualdad
Crop: 2011
Grade: SHB
Appearance: Very nice looking uniform lot, a few peaberries.
Roast date: 3/27/11
Ambient temperature: 67F
Weight: 227 grams
Preheat: 400F
Set:471F
Yellow: 6:45
1st crack: 11:32
Temp Drop: 12:00
EOR: 14:15
End weight: 194 grams
Degree of roast: City Plus
Roast notes - nice steady first, bit of chaff remaining in the crease,
Munch: Bright with deep chocolate or something I cannot identify

Coffee: Guatemala Fraijanes Palencia San Jorge
Crop: 2011
Grade: SHB
Appearance: Very clean, even, peaberries
Roast date: 3/27/11
Ambient temperature: 67F
Weight: 227 grams
Preheat: 400F
Set:471F
Yellow: 6:40
1st crack: 11:55
Drop: 12:25
EOR: 14:25
End weight: 195 grams
Degree of roast: City Plus
Roast notes - nice rolling first, Slight chaff remaining in the crease,
Munch: Sweet!! Roasted nuts - I'm looking forward to this one in the cup!

Coffee: Guatemala Oriente Mataquescuintla

Crop: 2011
Grade: SHB
Appearance: Excellent, clean, uniform, peaberries
Roast date: 2/27/11
Ambient temperature: 67F
Weight: 227 grams
Preheat: 400F
Set:471F
Yellow: 6:25
1st crack: 11:21
Drop: 11:21
EOR: 13:51
End weight: 195 grams
Degree of roast: City Plus
Roast notes - Slow unsteady first crack, Chaff remaining in the crease,
Munch: Hard bean, very pleasant bitter chocolate

Next morning jar huff: All of them are doing very nicely resting quietly in their jars and each has a wonderful fragrance. The nose tells me San Jorge is the one to look forward to.

I'll brew each of them on Wednesday (day three) and offer thoughts, again on Friday and once more on Sunday.

Then I'll start all over next Sunday and roast each one to just the lightest kiss of Second crack and drop back in here.

Thanks, Sean!
Respect the bean.

Got home last night from two-week road trip to find the Mataquescuintla on porch.

Thanks, Sean!

(and thanks USPS for making mail holds so easy)

First tasting of the three roasts:

Coffee: Guatemala San Marcos Tajumulco La Igualdad
Nice fragrance - sweet and bright, a little citrusy
Light to medium body
Nutty
Sweet
No specific flavors at the moment

Coffee: Guatemala Fraijanes Palencia San Jorge
Bright fragrance, full
Nice body, not big
Bright and somewhat acidic
Sweet with floral notes

Coffee: Guatemala Oriente Mataquescuintla
Nice rich fragrance
Medium to heavy body (already!)
Deep notes, dark dried fruits
Not acidic at all
Sweet richness, heavy flavors

Of the three, the Oriente stands up to the same light roast best of all three. I'm very excited to try it again on Friday.

The first two may develop with more rest, but at the moment, the Oriente is the City Plus standout.

Unfortunately Ginny there is none. Because of shipping costs on such a small order I ended up getting less then I had hoped to..BUT!!!!!

There is plenty more and hope to be able arrange a larger buy later this spring after the harvest is complete..

I just noticed ORIENTE!!! Is this DP like 2 yrs ago?? That was at the top of my favorite coffee ever!! Is there any more of this anywhere? YUM!
 
John Despres
Ah... The DP Oriente of yore! I still have 3 or 4 batches of that. Vac sealed and awaiting its time in the roaster.

No, this is wet processed, but by initial tastes, an outstanding coffee as well as the DP. Not the same, but a very, very good coffee.

I'll share a 5 day rest tasting tomorrow.

Well lets hope that this means we will see a DP as well ! Any other info about the 'oriente' farm? Was this stuff auction lot and all gone or will it likely be seen at various outlets?
