Had the new El Salvador Los Planas (sp?) and a new Kenyan on the table. Along with the Colombia Finca Beunos Aires, Muganza, and Muyongwe. That Muganza is amazing. I had a cup of it afterwards and it had a kinda veggie soup broth thing going on. The Earl Grey that I usually get when cupping it started to show up toward the end of the cup. The new Kenyan is super citrusy and the Los Planas has a killer acidity. Good coffees.

The Los Planes and the new Kenyan were on the table again. I like the Kenyan but I'm really not feeling the Los Planes. It just seemed kinda dirty and not very developed. Jim suggested that maybe yesterday's was roasted a little darker for a more fully developed cup. I did like yesterday's better. It would probably make a good "transistion coffee" for people that like a more "full-bodied and bold" coffee to a more nuanced one. We also had the two Rwandans from yesterday and four Colombians. Two for wholesale and two for Stumptown cafes...all really good.
