The aroma. The flavor. Is that a note of blueberry muffin I taste? Strawberries and Cream? Cocoa? On Monday, our Hunter Bay team roasted and cupped some of the world’s finest coffees from Ethiopia, and a few others. The goal? To find the optimal roast level for some new single origin micro-lots we’ll be featuring Spring 2017. Same coffee, seven different roast levels, seven staff members, all with trained palates. The winner?

Stay tuned. Because when these coffee hits the shelves, you’ll want them in your life. Some photos from our cupping.
