Finca la Josefina

Today we introduced a new Colombian coffee down at the Green Plow: Finca la Josefina. It is bright and well balanced, with a long and pleasant finish. This coffee came to us courtesy of my friend Bobby at 11 Roasters in Bend. I have been reading about the grower of this coffee and I am looking forward to getting more from them, not just because the coffee is outstanding, but because they also seem to care about treating their workers well.

So far the Finca la Josefina has had a very warm welcome in the shop, but I only have a little bit, so come in and enjoy it while you can, or e-mail me at pat@greenplowcoffee.com and I can send you a pound or so.

New Coffees have arrived

What a week this has been! We opened our shop in Redmond last Wednesday and have since then have been acclimating ourselves to this next part of our journey. We have also been roasting some new beans that we are very excited about. Here is what we have available right now:

Brazil Priscila do Cerrado: Good body and a hint of nuts. Our importer for this coffee is a Brazilian importing coffee from his family's farm and other farms in the same region. $12/lb.

Papua New Guinea: Mandy says, "Smooth and heavy." This is a "direct relationship" coffee. The company importing this coffee was established specifically to market the coffee from this region and benefit the people in the community where it is grown. $11/lb.

Colombia Huila "Monserate": Bright and slightly citrusy. Another relationship coffee, this one from a large importer that has established direct relationships in several coffee producing countries. $12/lb.

We also have a very good Guatamalan Antigua (11/lb.) and an Ethiopian Sidamo ($12/lb), both of which will give you a subtle fruit flavor in the cup.

We offer a discount for churches and non-profits. Contact us for details and to order.
