FTO Congo!

This was a huge hit at our release party for it at the UP Cafe Grand Opening last week!

Congo

Democratic Republic of Congo, Sopacdi Cooperative Tsheya Washing Station, South Kivu

Light Full City Roast

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.

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.

The Flores is back and with a new roast profile!

We really like this new crop of Flores as a Full City Roast.

Flores Bajawa, Wet Process

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.

Roaster’s Recommendation – February 2013

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

Dominican Republic Ramirez Estate, Las Aromas Peaberry

Dominican Republic Ramirez Estate, Las Aromas Peaberry

City Roast

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.

The Stupor Bowl 2013

Snowy UMG

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.

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!

New Coffees – February 2013

Colo 6

Colombia Magdelena, Red Ecolsierra Cooperative

Full City Roast

A coffee whose sweet aroma of tropical fruit glides effortlessly into its taste, this Colombian encaptures a coconut oatmeal cookie with a side of white grapes and strawberry ice cream. Its refreshing, green-apple-style acidity and silky mouthfeel leisurely stride toward a soft, stonefruity, cream soda finish.

Papua New Guinea Waka Jawaka

Light Vienna Roast

Unpredictable, untamed, unrestrained. This bean satisfies all parts of the taste buds, and appeals to the most creative of coffee drinkers. Commences aromatically with wet tobacco leaves, honey, and tootsie roll. A heavy smoothness in the body supports a unique array of flavor nuances, ranging from Oreo cookie and pineapple to green peas and cooked pasta. A persistent sweetness intensifies as the coffee cools, finishing memorably and chocolatey with hints of sweet greens and a touch of bacon fat.

Thank You Beer (and Coffee) Dabblers!

Flamenco Crew

We had an absolute blast brewing and serving our coffee at the 4th Annual Winter Carnival Beer Dabbler last Saturday! We loved being involved in this event and hope to be the designated driver sponsor for many years to come. Thank you to everyone who helped organize and put together The Beer Dabbler.

It was pretty darn cold, but that didn’t stop the masses from attending this great event or us from brewing our coffee outdoors!

We would really like to thank all of you that stopped by our booth and enjoyed some of our coffees, especially those that were the designated drivers!

airpot

We had our Rwanda Cafe Femenino, Ethiopia Natural Process Worka, and our brand new Papua New Guinea brewed up and everyone seemed to really enjoy!

We would like to give special thanks to Potter’s Pasties and Gastrotruck for the awesome eats!

We would like to give even more special thanks to Odell Brewing, Indeed Brewing, Tallgrass Brewing, Grand Teton Brewing, and Bell’s Brewing for the tasty beers that kept us going all evening!

We are already looking forward to next year!
