Coffee Plant Roasters - Nicaragua Mama Mina

Sometimes, calling these blog entries "Now Drinking" is a bit of a mislabel. Sure, it's the bag of coffee that's currently open, but I'm not really drinking it. That's not it's fault though. That's on me. Coming down with the flu for the second time in a winter, after having the flu shot, does wonders on messing with one's body, and in an attempt to try and deal with some of the headache and anxiety, I've cut my caffeine intake off for the time being.

That said, here's what I started drinking two weeks ago. For once in a long while, I managed to make it off work soon enough to stop in at Coffee Plant Roasters. While there, I picked up this coffee from Nicaragua, the 1st Nicaraguan coffee I've mentioned here.

This coffee all comes from the Mama Mina farm, with more info about the farm here.

Roasters Notes: Clean, semi-sweet, with pleasant notes of nuts and citrus

Once again, I've not actually recorded my taste experience. Sorry. That's what coffee with the flu is like. I wouldn't be able to figure anything about the taste out anyways. I can, however, tell you that it smells good, since I've got the bag right here besides me, since I saved it to remember the tasting notes from the roaster.

Coffee Plant Roasters - Guatemala La Esperanza

This coffee should win an award. For what, you might ask? For the prize of being the first coffee to be posted to this blog while I'm still consuming it. Yay, give it a round of applause, it's earned it.

Anyways, this is another one from CPR, and the fourth from Guatemala. It comes from La Esperanza, in the Quetzaltenango department. I've got no facts about it. It's wikipedia pages are sparse, and most searches just bring up coffee roasters selling their wares. Though that does mean other people also consider it worth drinking.

Now, since I'm currently working my way through this bag of coffee, it'd be safe to say I have tasting notes of it. And...I don't. If nothing crazy stands out, it gets listed as "tastes like coffee." It also doesn't help that it is consumed at work, where my priorities are not detailed tasting notes, but, rather, work. Maybe I'll remedy this, maybe I won't. If I do, it'll end up being an edit at the end of the post.
