TODAY’S COFFEES roasted in San Diego on 5/6/26:
BIRD ROCK: Ecuador Finca La Carolina, Sidra varietal, washed process, light roast. http://birdrockcoffee.com
COFFEE & TEA COLLECTIVE: Burundi Remera, Red Bourbon, washed process. Another underappreciated coffee from perhaps the best coffee growing soil on earth. Burundi is one of the poorest nations on the planet, and its coffee industry is both heroic in its function despite all modern assistance and damned by its internal conflicts, government and geography. Nonetheless, its coffees are uniformly outstanding if and when available. http://coffeeandteacollective.com
PROVECHO: Ethiopia West Arsi Werka, natural process, medium dark roast. http://provechocoffee.com
DAYMAR: Ethiopia Yrghacheffe, Sumatra Mandehling; both light roasts. Jamaica Blue Mountain, Mavis Bank. http://daymarcoffee.com
ACENTO: El Idolo blend. http://acentocoffeeroasters.com
YIPAO: Colombia Tolima, La Arcadia, Caturra, Castillo varietals, washed process. Full City roast (medium dark). http://yipao-coffee.com
NOTE: BLUE NILE MARKET, at 2425 El Cajon Boulevard, will soon open a microroastery on premises to compliment its Ethiopia coffee service. The market now offers green Ethiopian coffee and equipment for that nation’s traditional coffee preparation.
