My espresso machine is waiting for spare part so I have been drinking filtered coffee for the past month. With some awsome-ness certified coffees being offered during cupping by Brother Budan, I am certainly not running out brew.

The Ethiopian Aricha is one not to miss. Picked from an wild variety in the Yirgacheffe region, these cherries  are at their peak ripeness and sun dried. The taste is dominated by fruit, strawberry, berry jam with a creamy mouthfeel. No sign of ferment. Right-fist in the air = awesome-ness.

More informed coffee-minded people, correct any details I missed.
