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.

Badbeard's - Kenya AA Lot 117

I probably purchased this coffee because Badbeard sounded like a cool name for a roaster. Also, a pirate coffee bean? Pretty cool, right? What is even more interesting is how much information about the beans they provide. Not just a region, but who grew it, what type of beans they were, what they did with it, and where it was washed.

I can neither confirm, nor deny, it's ability to chase away Holiday Blahs.

All I know really know about it now however, is that it's been a few years since I bought this bag of coffee, and I've not yet purchased more.

Stumptown - Kenya Gachatha

Most of the saving of coffee labels came from the cards on a bag of beans from Stumptown Coffee Roasters. They were and are, in a way, a sort of trading card fact sheet on the coffee you're consuming.

I must have really enjoyed this one, because there were 3 cards for it in the pile. Either that, or my friend from a Stumptown serving coffee shop liked making me drink it.
