From the Cupping Table
There’s been a lot of activity at our Oakland and Seattle cuppingCupping is a method of tasting coffee by steeping grounds in separate cups for discrete amounts of ground coffee, to reveal good flavors and defects to their fullest.... labs this past month, with new farm samples from Central America making up a big chunk of our work. GuatemalaGuatemalan coffee is considered a top quality coffee producer in Central America.

Of course "Origin" for most product we use is not... for us, and we’ve managed to secure our volumes from Antigua, Chimaltenango, and Huehuetenango in about 4 weeks time.
There are well over 200 samples behind that volume, and thankfully, Tom was able to make the trek to the source, managing all of that cupping with the help of our origin partners (check out this tour video of Finca Santa Ines if you haven’t already seen it!). One great benefit of coffee travel is having the support of a team to help roast samples and manage the massive cupping sessions. It’s a ton of work for just one person!
We’re also wrapping up selections from El SalvadorEl Salvador coffee had an undeservingly poor reputation for years, marred mostly by the inability to deliver coffee of high quality in an unstable political climate. Unfortunately, agriculture..., Costa RicaCosta Rican coffee is typically very clean, sweet, with lots of floral accents. hey are prized for their high notes: bright citrus or berry-like flavors in the acidity,..., and NicaraguaNicaraguan coffees from the Segovia, Jinotega, Ocotal and Matagalpa regions are nice balanced cups.

Except for El Salvador, most of these coffees will show up on next months list, once we have contracts in place.
Origin Shipping Updates

We are super pleased with the expedient transit time and look forward to having fresh Kenyan coffees to offer sooner than later.

- EthiopiaEthiopia, formerly known as Abyssinia, or a coffee cultivar: Ethiopia, or more specifically the Empire under Haile Selassie, was known as Abyssinia. The name is Latin, derived from...: We’re happy to say our first Ethiopian coffees have shipped and have an ETA of mid May to New Jersey. This first box contains coffees you may know (and probably love!); a washed lot from Hambela Dabaye, and dry processDry process coffee is a method for taking the fruit from the tree to an exportable green bean. The whole intact coffee cherry is dried in the sun... lots from Hambela Wamena, and Benti Nenka. With the exception of a couple stragglers, most of the others in the “Incoming” list below are scheduled to depart from the port of Djibouti by the middle of May. The quality has been stellar all around, and consists of coffee from many stations and cooperatives we bought from in the past, as well as a few new single farmer estates from the West that we’re excited about as well.

- YemenYemen has a coffee culture like no other place, and perhaps some of what we enjoy in this cup is due to their old style of trade...: Technically,...: We bought a record amount of Yemeni coffee this season, filling up an entire 20′ shipping container. These coffees were purchased through Fatoum Muslot, a Yemeni coffee exporter we’ve worked with the past 3 years, and whose bio/interview we published in our library. Being able to take on this volume of coffee opened up the opportunity to buy from regions new to us, and a broader range of cup flavors too. These coffees have already landed on the East Coast and are being railed across the US to Oakland in the next 2 weeks. We’re starting strong with Matari in a couple of weeks, and you can expect about five other regional selections to follow.
2022 Coffee Prices for us and you
With a big chunk of our 2022 buying now behind us, we have a better idea how much of an effect the higher coffee market will have on the price you pay for coffee on our website. On average, we’ve seen an 20-30% increase on the FOB price of coffee in every single originSingle Origin refers to coffee from one location, in contrast to blended coffee. This term is particularly useful in discussing espresso, since most commercial espressos are made from.... (FOB = Free on board, the cost of the coffee at the port of departure).
Coffee will be more expensive this year …there’s no two ways about it. That’s the reality for everyone, not just us.
So where does the extra $.75/Lb (more or less) you’ll pay for Ethiopian coffee go? Most importantly, it goes back to the farmers so they are able to cover the higher cost of production they are faced with and remain profitable. It’s the smallholders who are hit the hardest by inflation.
It also helps us cover the increased cost of logistics services who are operating with a shortage of materials and labor at a time of record fuel prices. In short, we aren’t “raising prices”, we are simply covering costs. Our prices are mostly fixed, so none of this increase is for us. When costs return to normal, our prices will trend downward too. Our margins are also mostly fixed too, which means you’ll never pay more for coffee simply because the market is up. We never price coffees on a differential basis that fluctuates in real time with market prices.
The reality for most of our Sweet Maria’s customers is that the price jump works out to about .02 cents more per cup of coffee. Really, just .02 cents!
Upcoming green coffees currently on the schedule to be added to our website:
Please keep in mind that the coffees on the Upcoming Coffee Outlook schedule with a location status of “In Transit” are still a bit of a wild card, and the month we have them listed under is based on the current shipping ETA, and subject to interruptions out of our control. Thanks for your patience!

Glad to see the Yemen offerings. But no mention of my all-time favorite, Ismaili. You have not offered any Ismaili in several years. What is the outlook for this wonderful variety? Which of the ones you are getting is most like Ismaili? Thanks.
The current source we work with doesn’t have any connections in Ismaili so that’s why you don’t see it. But generally speaking, Yes – it’s been tricky with Ismaili. There is very little coffee actually grown there… well to put it better, there has been a lot of coffee called “Ismaili” but not traceable. So we weren’t really sure it was Ismaili ! Would rather not sell it by name if we can’t verify it.
I appreciate these updates. Helps me plan my purchases. Thanks.
Hello!
Your previous Green Coffee Outlooks postings included incoming beans from Tanzania, but I don’t see Tanzania listed anywhere now. Are they no longer available, or do I have some reason to hope? My brother-in-law is from there and visiting us this summer. I was hoping to serve him some of my roasted Tanzanian while he’s here.
Thank you,
Mark
Hmmm … I will look into that Mark. We had contracted some lots based on samples cupped. Things have been moving very slowly so it’s possible the container arrival was pushed back and dropped off the list
Received El Salvador Miravalle Sampacho in a subscription box and am looking for some more. Any chance you’ll be getting more of this?
Hi Alison, yes, we have a fresh lot on the way in October. It’s a ways off, but worth the wait if you liked the previous lot! We also have two other very nice varietal separations (Tabi and Bourbon) from this farm right now that can be ordered HERE.
Hope this helps!
