Happy Wednesday and happier for some of you who are on monthly subscriptions.
I've jumped back into the creative side of things having gotten a small quantity of Nicaragua & Ethiopian beans that will go out in this month’s subscription packs (https://www.drinkpirate.coffee/product-page/good-coffee-subscription-monthly), thank you for your ongoing support and we hope you enjoy the new flavours!
I picked these Nicaraguan beans as they are a Rainforest Alliance bean (https://www.rainforest-alliance.org/about/) ensuring that the coffee is grown in a way that is low impact to forests, while still supporting the farmers and growers of this chocolate goodness!

As many of you know, I’m a kiwi, so I grew up with darker roasts and chocolate, smoky flavours - in fact my favourite place in Wellington, NZ was Midnight Espresso in Cuba St. Both, for their coffee and their sensational muffins. So you will find a lot of this influence in the beans I roast and the flavours I typically have in my beans.
The Ethiopian is a little daring for me, with sultana and berry tones it’s a fruit flavour that I think is more suited to filter and pour over. Typically the coffee connoisseurs favourite cup, I’m a little atypical - give me a smoky caramel Cuban coffee anyday!
So I hope you enjoy the mixture of flavours and experience of new countries - I’m enjoying working with new beans and being a little experimental with my coffee roasting - all to deliver the best coffee experience you can have.
So enjoy your Wednesday and your coffee!
