best coffee bean?

[germantown rob]

Sadly I never took the advice and purchased any Ethiopian Aricha micro lot #27 from UncleBeanz .

Moo, have you tried any of the Panama Esmeralda Gesha lots? I got the hang of roasting them and I have never had anything as good so far. I do like the 08 better then the 09s I got, good thing for me others seem to feel the opposite.

Are you kidding? After the Aricha I got a pounds but I was too broke to get more so I never nailed the Esmeralda roast level. See, it's like this. After what I spent on the Aricha (Best Bean in the World didn't come for $1.99/lb) I didn't have food or gas money for about six months. Boy was Mrs. Moo hot! The irony of buying insanely expensive coffee is that it keeps your spouse pissed AND wide awake at the same time. Aw... so what? She never said "No" to the coffee.

That coffee is soooooooooo smooooooooooth. It is the World's Best Bean, which the rookies (above) didn't know. You such a good man, Germ'ob, I'll send you a pound. If you fall in love with the kids uncle you can send him the eight ounces. Betcha don't.

Well if you were typing that and thinking "he is such a nice guy he will never accept my offer especially after telling him the Mrs. was mad and I had no gas or food money for 6 months". I say times are tough everywhere, send me a pound, , I will return with a pound of 08 gesha or a 1/2 of 08 and a half of 09 lot 2. Sound fair?

No. I have much coffee and YOU are way out ahead with me right now. How about a pound and leave it at that? And you decide what to do about the uncle.

Confirm addy, Germ.

The best coffee in the world comes out of the butts of monkeys.

No sheat.

Confirm addy, Germ.

Thanks Moo , you are very generous to part with such a treasure of yours.

Addy confirmed.

Now, what to do about this Uncle?

I think I have the last three pounds in the world.

No sir. You don't. We still have the original purchase lot left plus we have secured 40 pounds of it, vacuum sealed. Release only for the holidays. Roasted only.

Funny because all the Aricha's that appeared after 27 were not the same. What most folks do not know is that 95% of the Aricha that followed ours was shipped in bags via sea container. We had ours air freighted in hence the extremely high price. Yes, that coffee came to me after a flight on Virgin Atlantic (or BA). I still look at that receipt and smile. That shipping alone exponentially hiked the cup's quality.

It is simply the best natural coffee of all time.

We have a teeny amount of Misty Valley left. Our Gedio lot is very good too.
The original question is which country grows the best coffee.
The best coffee continent: Africa
Country: Ethiopia with Kenya a close second.

Second is a hard call.

You're in the clear. He can call UncleBeanz and buy 40-lb over the holidays.
