This year’s notes: Will be determined at a later date
Last year we tucked away a small amount of Homer’s coffee, vacuum-sealing the green coffee and storing it in our freezer to preserve freshness. Now that Spring has arrived and new crop is here, we’re excited to offer a rare opportunity to taste side-by-side two harvests of the same very special coffee. We will roast, pack, and ship it all out on the same day to highlight the subtle differences in character that naturally occur year after year.
And we'd like want to hear what you think! The tasting notes for this year’s Homer haven’t been determined yet. If you're interested, email some notable flavors and textures you find in the cup, and help us determine what tasting notes should go on this year's bag.
This coffee will be roasted, packed, and shipped on Wednesday, April 22. If you're interested in seeing your flavor notes on the bag, we need your ideas for tasting notes by noon on Wednesday, April 29. Email quality@highergroundstrading.com with your feedback.
