the buncho was pretty funky in some brews, but not always. Had some really enjoyable brews too. But yeah overall the mystery was a much more interesting coffee
I found a coffee farmer in Puerto Rico, a small farm with a very interesting coffee offering. The owner roasts the coffee too. The name is Hacienda Encanto Natural. Just ordered natural gesha and it reminded me of a gesha from Mexico called Finca Las Nieves.
That is interesting. Would have fit very well with a couple recent Coffee of the Month ideas that we have had (non-traditional gesha origins and producer roasters). We'll keep this in mind should those things come up again as it definitely sounds interesting
You make an interesting point. Think we've actually seen several increases over the years. Mid 2010s you saw Onyx and Sweet Bloom at around $14-$16 for 12oz/340g bags. Early 2020s you still had Manhattan/a lot of European at around $20 for 8.8oz/250g bags. It's a great thing if the producers are getting more for their efforts as they deserve it for all that they do. At the end of the day though, it's up to the consumers as to what they're willing to spend. Have seen some very interesting coffees sit on websites because the price was too high. Hopefully we can find the ideal balance one day
I enjoyed this more than their honey buncho by far
@@allen.t oh, kinda interesting actually. Never got a chance to try that coffee but it sounds like it would have been a very good one

@tommihommi1 that would make a lot of sense then

one of my favorite washed Ethiopians this year
Very high praise, but H&S has been doing so well this year that it's not too surprising
Whoa their prices are pretty steep 😕. Good coffee in general has really gotten pretty crazy in the last 2 years
