I haven’t written in a while - things is been crazy busy and I haven’t taken the time to get anything posted - and so this is jsut something that has been on my mind lately: That whether you are roasting for yourself, or professionally, it is not enough to simply purchase good green coffee if you expect to produce exceptional coffee. The purchase of a special lot of coffee from a particular farm (especially if it a a well known farm, such as Panama’s Hacienda La Esmeralda Especial - Geisha) can either be an opportunity to challenge your skills as a roaster to achieve the most beautiful expression of that coffee, or a chance to pose that pedigree on yor bag so that the name of that farm or farmer will make people believe that the coffee they are purchasing is roasted as well as that farm grew it… The decision is rooted in integrity and focus.
