I seem to frequent your wall an increasing amount about your coffee :) My girlfriend is from Sacramento and her parents are still there so every time she visits she always brings me back something. Recently she brought back some Amaro Gayo, which was almost TOO sweet (good thing) and some Kagongo which was the second third best Kenya I had in 2010 from any roaster (and I drink a TON of Kenya coffee). So again, hats off to you from your neighbors up north a ways.

Hey, didn't want to hijack dude's thread. Thanks for the response, I love Local 123 and Modern, so I'll look for your stuff there next time I go for sure! Probably won't be out in San Jo anytime soon, but hopefully some day I'll check out your place. Peace.

Hey Benza,

So someone jacked our Verve order last week, so I went over to Modern to get emergency rations for our farmer's market table. They were out of Verve so I picked up some Temple. Just wanted to say it was delicious and helped to soothe the pain of being coffeejacked :) Costa Rican, I believe? Our customers were down with it too. Peace.
