New Crop Peru Organic...Villa Rica

It is 9:15am in the great state of Oregon. The sun is shining and we are all in for a hot week. The weather man says it should break 90 degrees on the 4th. This is not normal!! Normality is rain(or a shower or two)on the July 4th in Oregon. Then on the 5th we begin our summer.

Well, it's a beauty of a morning. And what even made it more beautiful was the sample of Organic Peru...Villa Rica's first crop of the year is sitting on my desk waiting for me to sample roast and cup it.

The beans are a deep green and a uniform 18 screen. The aroma was nice and deep as the roast was nearing completion. The cup is hardy and robust with a smooth finish.

If you are looking for a fruits and vegetable taste, SORRY!, this one is all COFFEE!!!
