The length of it

A clean, clear mouthful of flavours that just keeps on going. I order different coffees and take them into work and share them with others in the office. A couple of us compare notes, on the quite because we don’t want others to think we are suffering from OCD (Obsessive Coffee Disorder) but we are. Any way I placed my first order with hasbean and in it was El Salvador Finca San Jose Elefante 2012. I know it’s not cheap but I have just finished reading ‘god in a cup’ by Michaele Weissman, which is all about good coffee and the 3rd wave of coffee coming out of America. I, personally think that the UK is at the start of the 4th but that’s a different subject. Anyway the book talks about how it’s important to pay more for your coffee as it support the farmer and improves the coffee in the longer term and as we all know ‘life is too short for bad coffee’.

The coffee arrived, quickly and the first thing I notice was the smell of it, god it smells good, the next day I took it into work and gave a friend the choice of 4 new coffees to try, secretly hopping that she would pick the San Jose first, she did. At work I use and airopress and have had to take an electric burr grinder in because when I start making coffee a large number of mugs and pleading looks suddenly appear and hand grinding was just taking too long. I make the coffee and go about my morning. It tastes as described but what isn’t mentioned is how long the flavour last, in your mouth, long enough to attach an emotional memory, it also has a kick to it, not, in your face, caffeine buss, high, running round the office bouncing off the walks more of a ooow, ok that’s nice, that is more even and prolonged. This coffee was worth every penny and I would recommend it as being one of the best coffees I have had the pleasure of trying. I have just placed my second order with hasbeean and am looking forward to the next round.
