Stumptown Coffee Roasters
Two wonderful evenings were marked by the enchanted work of Stumptown Coffee Roasters. On Sunday it was Ethiopian Tega Tula and the following day Misty Valley. Two Ethiopian coffees, two great favorites of mine preceding almost providential events. It was like a tasty yet fortuitous omen of things to come.

Stumptown Coffee Roasters is the exact same way. Very small batches of especially sought and nurtured beans, obsessive attention to detail and all aspects of cultivation, harvesting and processing, and supporting the farmers with premium prices and support for infrastructure and communicty projects. From what I hear, Stumptown pioneered that many years ago, but then my bias is easily dismissive of others (yeah, I know NC's triangle is totally on the same wavelength as the Rose City, but I LIVE HERE, and have slavish zealot devotion to my city).

I really enjoy Kenya AA too--it is my inexpensive stand-bye coffee (I can't live high on the hog with that fine Ethiopian coffee all the time).

Oh, now you are making me miss the dark chocolate covered blue berries and blue berry coffee and... oh... lamentations! Hmmm... I am lacto-vegetarian now, so I could count on the upcomming blueberry season to make fresh chocolate covered blue berries myself. ...but that's a lot of work. Much more than strawberries dipped in chocolate.

Grrr... I wish WinCo would restock that item (and their Java Pride blue berry coffee which was almost as fine as the Swedish Gevalia Kaffe (Blueberry Creme))... Did I mention I like blueberries? Blueberries, chocolate and coffee... no wonder I like Ethiopian Herrar... it seems to magically combine all three.

Coffee time! * scampers away *
