Orange Alox Pioneer with PT's limited edition Colombian Granja La Esperanza.
HIGHLY REVIEWED: Our roast of Sudan Rume earned a 95 point score from Ken Davids at Coffee Review.
This is our first offering of the Sudan Rume varietal. It comes from Café Granja La Esperanza, one of our most highly decorated Direct Trade partners. It is Very Limited with less than 10 bags left to sell!
Sudan Rume is an exceptionally rare coffee with a beautiful flavor profile. As its name suggests, the varietal was discovered in the country of Sudan, near its border with Ethiopia. This is a naturally occurring cultivar from the Bourbon family, bursting with red fruit and floral flavors, but very low-yielding. Due to the trees inability to produce much fruit, Sudan Rume has mainly been used as a breeding varietal, creating hybrid trees that produce more fruit with some of it's highly praised flavor characteristics.
Recently farms in the specialty coffee world have begun to allot some of their farmland to Sudan Rume trees. As the harvest is incredibly small, this coffee is a classic case of quality over quantity. We are thrilled to be offering this limited crop and hope you enjoy it too.

I still haven't gotten used to brewing coffee at home, so I stick to the abnormally high number of shops in the area near work (at least 7 unique ones within 1 square mile that I've visited), this one's among my favorites (Caffe Vita beans, and they only do ristretto pulls, so very rich and smooth espresso)

Yeah, if you are used to drinking a dark roast you probably won't like a light roast. Some brands though intentionally over roast the beans to hide any defects and to extend shelf life.

Lighter roast keeps the 'fruity' flavors.

Does that take standard blades? Nothing wrong with it! I have a husky does a perfect job cutting up boxes and scoring sheet rock!Got a Flat Bastard today (flat white with 3 shots in the same size cup), also only have my crappy Gerber work knife today, the only thing that redeems it is the action is very smooth now that I put Nano Oil on the pivot.

Yup, standard blades. I can't complain as I received it from my supervisor for free as my work knife (unbeknownst to him I already had a few other knives that I used at work) and it's lasted me nearly 3 years of rather stress-free cutting of cardboard and strapping. For a while I shunned it and carried my Spyercos for chopping up cardboard, but I got tired of sharpening them all the time so now they do the other stuff which a boxcutter can't do and this one handles the dulling work.
