Stumptown - Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Chelbessa

I saved this Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from Stumptown for last. Until I drink more coffee.
Chelbessa is a washing station, but if you read the back of the card, you already knew that.



This is quite possibly the first Yirgacheffe I knowingly consumed as a Yirgacheffe. The one to start the obsession, apparently. I wish I had more to write about it, but I don't. It's been so long ago since I drunk this.

Wandering Goat - Abyssinia

Abyssinia is a blend from Wandering Goat. Its name is the historical name for Ethiopia, the region where the beans come from.


There have been some changes to the description on this packaging. As of a month ago, it now reads, "A unique fruity and floral blend of our washed and natural Ethiopians produces a wonderfully complex flavor."

Coffee Plant Roasters - Kenya Nyeri Peaberry

This is the 3rd Kenyan coffee I've shown on this blog, and the last of my stockpile of roasts from Coffee Plant Roasters.


For those that don't know, the peaberry label means that this coffee comes from cherries that only contained one seed. Normally, a cherry would contain two seeds.

Wandering Goat - Guatemala Huehuetenango

This coffee from Wandering Goat was grown near the Guatemalan city of Huehuetenango. With a name like that, I wish I knew how to pronounce it correctly, because my probably bastardized way of saying it is entertaining to me. 


While it sounds partially like laughing, Huehuetenango actually means place of the ancients in the Aztec language.

Sisters Coffee - Uganda Kabum Co-op

In an alphabetical list, this roast from Sisters Coffee comes in last for roasts I've tried. That's not necessarily indicative of my taste ranking of this coffee from Uganda though. It also helps that I don't have much of a taste ranking. It was probably good. It certainly wasn't bad.


For an interesting tidbit about this coffee, the Kabum Co-op has only been around since 2011. I also don't know, as far as co-ops go, if that is young or old. This coffee here was consumed sometime in early 2017 though, so don't go thinking that I found out about a coffee earlier than you.

Stumptown - Burundi Kayanza

After a short hiatus (of two weeks when I decided Imgur was more exciting,) here's more records (honestly just for me) of what coffee I have consumed.

This is another Stumptown roast, coming from the African country of Burundi. I'm fairly confident in saying this is the only coffee from Burundi I've ever consumed. Unless some was hiding in a blend. Sneaky.
