FTO Congo! May 7, 2013 – 3:19 pm
This was a huge hit at our release party for it at the UP Cafe Grand Opening last week!

Democratic Republic of Congo, Sopacdi Cooperative Tsheya Washing Station, South Kivu
A uniquely interesting cup to accompany an inspiring story. Begins with an unmistakable nose of clove, black tea, and orange peel, which continues into the mouth while contributing both the sweetness and flavor of honey. Possesses the classical crisp, tart acidity associated with fine East African coffees and a body far more substantial than its weight would suggest. Finishes with a dessert-like sweetness and hints of bourbon.

We are very excited about this one!
City Roast
Cup of Excellence Mexico Ixtlan Juarez, Oaxaca #3 C.O.E. 2012
Finca La Lagunilla, Andres Martinez Leon
Grains and sweet syrups develop out of generous aromatics. Bold and bright, bursts of pomegranate and unripe banana push through a thin-yet-balanced body. A glimmer of white whiskey curls this coffee into its cereal-like, resonant finale.

Thanks to everyone that came out last Saturday night to check out the Culvert City Rail Jam at Overflow Espresso Cafe!


Even in some rainy, not so ideal conditions, it was a very cool snowboarding event!

We really like this new crop of Flores as a Full City Roast.
At first pour, a nose of the outdoors unfolds: leaves, soil, trees. Wild in nuance yet compositionally balanced, this bean references baked apple pie, rhubarb, and clove. A snappy acidity counters its velvety body, rolling over to a sweet cream, semi dry finale.

We are recommending our direct relationship Dominican Republic Peaberry this month!

An ironic profile as tropical as its origin, this cup bellows with a nose of sweet juices, sugary desserts and exotic fruits. Its body is like honey, which packages together in your mouth waves of white sugar, Fig Newtons and dried apricot. This coffee’s most notable feature is its exceptional sweetness, which continues all the way through the finish before elegantly morphing into a contrasting twist of citrusy lime.

We are always happy to support local events and it really helps when we are directly involved in some way.




For that reason, we were really pumped about being one of the stops on the Stupor Bowl, an alley cat bike race here in the Twin Cities this last weekend.


Our roaster, Alan, is an avid biker and is also part of the Sh!tgoose Bike Team whose whole crew took part in the race.

The weather was really cold, so the bikers loved a warm stop with good tunes to take a little bit of the edge off.


For coffee, we brewed our piping hot Papua New Guinea Waka Jawaka and Dominican Republic Peaberry.
For espresso, we pulled shots of our Matador.
For beer, we poured our favorite neighborhood brewery’s beer, the Indeed “ultra-hoppy pale ale” Day Tripper.
Racers were really happy to have a warm beverage and an awesome beer!
