Coffee Of The Week
Fair Trade Organic Mexico Oaxaca CEPCO Altura
Well I don’t know where August went–do you? For us the month started with lazy days camping at Lake Tahoe, then came the Nevada County Fair, followed by back to school, ballet and tennis starting up, and then it finished with a family trip to San Francisco to see a Giants game. Whew. No wonder the month flew by.
September looks to be just as full. It kicked off with an employee wood-fired pizza party at our house last Monday. We all enjoy getting together, and rolling dough, adding toppings, and watching the pizzas cook was a fun way to spend an evening. Shout out to all those who helped, especially Becky for rolling most of the crusts, and Tim for manning the fire. It was a great party.
Last weekend we were open at the Gold Country Kennel Club Dog Show, and this weekend also finds us at the fairgrounds, for the Roamin’ Angels Car Show. We’ll be in the trolley, near the Pine Tree Stage, so come find us for all your coffee needs. The trolley has a full espresso bar and we make all sorts of iced and blended drinks too. The car show is always a fun event.
We got a coffee shipment on Tuesday, and we’re excited to have a few favorites back in stock. If you’ve been waiting for it, our Organic Blue Krishna Balinese has arrived. This week we’re featuring another coffee for which we’ve had a number of requests: our Fair Trade Organic Mexico Oaxaca CEPCO Altura. This high grown Mexican coffee from the far south of the country is grown mostly by indigenous small farmers, who come together with CEPCO (Coordinadora Estatal de Productores de Café del Estado de Oaxaca) to direct trade their coffee internationally. This allows for a much better price than they might otherwise receive.
In the cup this is a delicious, chocolate-y brew, with a full-body and pecan and caramel notes. I drank it today and enjoyed every sip. I’m planning on taking home a pound to drink this week. Whatever your plans this weekend, I hope you drink good coffee. Cheers!
