Tim in Brazil

Tim cupping in Brazil

Tim Wendelboe has been touring around Brasil for nearly two weeks and has a great write up on his experiences there, the coffee he tasted, the farming process in Brasil and the ethics of growing and selling coffee.  An interesting read.

I also found crazy coffees. Especially one from Piata that tasted like liquid molasses (the syrup gained from sugar cane). Another coffee I found in Mococa tasted like a washed Ethiopian Yirgacheffe with high citric acidity, coffee flowers and bergamoth in the aromas and delicate slim body. Unfortunately, this coffee was allready sold, but the molasses coffee will probably be in our shelves this winter.
