		<title>Drying foam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the liquid and foam that collects on the back of the spoon sits waiting for the next dip in the liquor, liquid draining off across the silver, the bubbles begin losing internal cohesion and increase in size, number and spacing. It&#8217;s also likely that the foam is dehydrating some. You can see &#8211; beginning [...]

		<title>Closer to the surface</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been playing around with macro images lately, preparing for a larger project. For the most part, what I&#8217;ve shot is just experimental, but sometimes these images open up new ideas about coffee. When you come closer, that detail and intimacy gives you a chance to develop a richer understanding of things you thought you [...]

		<title>Hacienda Carmona Pulcal (Antigua, Guatemala)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Grower: Maria Zelayas Aguirre Farm: Hacienda Carmona Pulcal Origin/Region: Antigua, Guatemala Processing: Wet Varietals: Bourbon &#038; Typika Description Clean, and not overly complex and comforting. It has a real nice, round, mellow chocolate with hazelnut tones that moves forward over grapefruited citrus while your coffee cools a bit. The sweetness isn&#8217;t what I&#8217;d call profound, [...]

		<title>The Syphon Project</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love the Vacuum Pot. I love the clarity of the brew, and for certain coffees, it is the best way, I think, to make coffee, bringing out certain nuances that in other methods become lost. But there&#8217;s a downside. It can easily bring a feeling that it is more science experiment than sensual esperience&#8230; [...]

		<title>Finca Genesis Miel from Lourdes de Naranjo, Costa Rica</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Grower: Oscar &#038; Olga Mendez Farm: Finca Genesis Origin/Region: Lourdes de Naranjo, Costa Rica Processing: Miel Description Crisp, clear jasmine and cane sugar aromatics dart among light nuts and sunflower seeds. Slight bodied, with a gentle, but substantial finish. The structure is a bit like what I imagine something built a group of Dozers would [...]

		<title>Finca Florestales from Tolima, Columbia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Grower: Maximino Gutierrez Farm: Finca Florestales Origin/Region: Tolimo, Columbia Processing: Wet Process Varietal: Caturra Description For years, I&#8217;ve cupped past Columbian coffees – not because they haven&#8217;t been good, some have been excellent, but because I only keep a relatively small selection of coffees at any one time and they have lacked a distinguishing quality [...]

		<title>Aged Sumatran, limited availability</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lot: (Aged) Peaberry &#8217;07 Crop Origin: Lintong, Sumatra Processing: Aged (&#8217;07 Crop) Varietal: ? Description This&#8217;ll lower you into the soil, and wrap you with loamy goodness. Carefully stored for the past 3 years to develop a pretty unique coffee, it&#8217;s earthy, deeply peppered with woody cardamon, burnt caramel and brown sugar. It&#8217;s intense and [...]

		<title>Duhingekawa Women’s Coop. Rushashi, Rwanda</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Grower: Duhingekawa Women&#8217;s Coop Origin: Rushashi, Rwanda Processing: Wet Process Varietal: Bourbon Description Here is one of those seasonally appropriate coffees, perfect as sun begins creeping around the clouds… earlier and earlier till you&#8217;re actually waking up sun sunlight. A touch of moist chill hangs still, but it&#8217;s a hopeful moment, where the comfort in [...]

		<title>The Maduro. Hailing from Guji, Sidamo, Ethiopia.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Grower: Haille Gebre Lot: &#8216;Maduro&#8217; Origin: Guji, Sidamo, Ethiopia (Organic) Processing: Dry Process Varietal: Heirloom varietals Description I was listening to Spanish Guitarist Federico Aubele a few nights ago, and it struck me then that this was the tension that I feel in this coffee. There is unboasting beauty, subtle and mellow, but there&#8217;s also [...]

		<title>Liveliness for the morning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The daily rhythm of grinding for the press in anticipation of thick, rich, and even chewy, coffee has given way – perhaps because of possibly because of these endlessly recurring spring rains – to a strong desire for the cleanliness and clarity of a finer grind and a glass filter. This is a place where [...]

		<title>Slow Coffee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is an acknowledgment that coffee, very much like all other agricultural (seasonal) products, are the result of keen human endeavors. That the distance between consumers and producers has obscured any clear appreciation of the stories it takes to bring anything of quality to the world. It&#8217;s a call to slow your pace and appreciate [...]

		<title>Roots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past couple weeks, I&#8217;ve been putting down my log charts and allowing myself to roast mostly by feel. It&#8217;s not that I&#8217;m abandoning the numbers I use to profile roasts—in fact I was still paying attention to times and temperatures, I just wasn&#8217;t recording them as I usually do—it&#8217;s that I want to [...]

		<title>Long Lasting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a super full week &#8211; taxes and other things &#8211; so it&#8217;s been difficult to make up some shortfall from Sunday&#8217;s roasting. So this morning pulled out a bit of the Aged Sumatra that I roasted a week and a half ago&#8230; this coffee has legs. Although it doesn&#8217;t have the freshness that [...]
