West Oak Coffee’s Milk and Honey Blend was my top pick in 2017 for “favorite coffee blend,” and I was excited to have a chance to buy one of their single-origin coffees on a recent trip to Denton. There were a lot of choices all under 3 days post-roast, which I found really impressive. This […]

Review: 8th and Roast Coffee Co. Costa Rica Willows (Nashville, Tennessee)
Recently, I made a quick trip to Nashville, Tennessee, and while many people would fill their visit with all things country music related, I focused largely on checking out the local coffee scene so I opted not to hit up any museums or live music venues. I did, however, have time to enjoy a Cuban […]
Review: Ruby Coffee Roasters Ethiopia Gesha Village Bangi Gori Gesha (Nelsonville, Wisconsin)
This particular coffee, from the Ruby Coffee Roasters website, intrigued me as soon as I read about it. I haven’t had the chance to try too many Ethiopian Geisha (also spelled Gesha) coffees, and this one was pretty reasonably priced, in my opinion ($23 for 12 oz). Most of the Geishas I’ve had have come […]
Review: Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters Panama Carmen (Dallas, Texas)
Most of the Panamanian coffees I’ve tried have been ridiculously expensive Geishas (and I sure do love those!), but I also am quite fond of beans from Panama in general. One of the first beans I reviewed for this blog was the Klatch Panama Elida Honey, and that bag still stands out in my memory […]
Review: Heart Coffee Roasters Panama Geisha Hacienda la Esmeralda (Portland, Oregon)
This is a coffee I was absolutely salivating to try as soon as I saw an email alert that it was available! The first Geisha coffee I ever reviewed for this blog was from Square One Coffee Roasters, and it was their Panama La Esmeralda Boquete. It was my top-ranked coffee of 2015 for its […]
Review: Patriot Coffee Roasters Ethiopia Worka Co-Op (Lakeland, Florida)
Patriot Coffee Roasters came to my attention last year when they sent me a bag of their Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Idido and I absolutely fell in love from the first sip. It ranked #1 in my Best of 2017 list, and I definitely marked them as a roaster to watch. Before I had a chance to […]
Review: Cuvée Coffee Ethiopia Cuberow (Austin, Texas)
I found this bag of Cuvée Coffee at a different Whole Foods location than I normally go to – they had a slightly different selection than my local store, but this was the freshest option. I had just had the Cuvée Brazilian, so I wasn’t really keen to buy another bag from the same roaster, but this […]
Review: Cuvée Coffee Brazil Patos de Minas Fazenda Pantano (Austin, Texas)
(I completely forgot to snap a photo of the bag I purchased like I usually do, so I grabbed this photo off of Cuvée’s website. Hope that’s okay!) Whole Foods came to my rescue yet again, as I found myself out of coffee and unable to wait even a few days to order any online or […]
Review: LAMILL Coffee Ethiopia Wote Konga (Alhambra, California)
A friend of mine recently told me about LAMILL Coffee and how she and her husband loved getting their coffee back when they used to live in Los Angeles. This friend has great taste in everything culinary, so I didn’t need any more convincing to check out this roaster! Little did I know that I […]
Review: Noble Coyote Coffee Roasters Guatemala Huehuetenango La Esperanza (Dallas, Texas)
This bag from Noble Coyote was another Whole Foods purchase, picked up during the holidays when I needed to have lots of coffee on hand to keep me going! I was making a fair bit of coffee to share with friends at a gig during this time frame, and I have found that Guatemalan coffees […]
