Green Coffee Outlook – July 2021 – for Sweet Maria’s and Coffee Shrub

Stay up to date on coffee we have coming down the pipeline and our latest green coffee outlook and arrivals schedule.

Green Coffee Notes for June 2021:

• July is turning out to be a big month for arrivals. Our first Ethiopian coffees arrived (check out the first offers on Sweet Maria’s and Coffee Shrub), as well as containers with coffee from GuatemalaGuatemalan coffee is considered a top quality coffee producer in Central America. Due to our proximity to Guatemala, some of the nicest coffees from this origin come to..., NicaraguaNicaraguan coffees from the Segovia, Jinotega, Ocotal and Matagalpa regions are nice balanced cups. They often possess interesting cup character along with body and balance, outperforming many other..., 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... and KenyaKenya is the East African powerhouse of the coffee world. Both in the cup, and the way they run their trade, everything is topnotch.: Kenya is the East....
• Unfortunately, there’s a bit of a lag between this first Ethiopian container and the ones that follow it. As of right now, the next coffees aren’t set to arrive until August 6th, which means we won’t likely have reinforcements ready until the middle of August.
• We’re doing what we can to bridge the rather wide gap between these first coffees and the next, but you’ll see below that a lot of the coffees we have annually are on this next group of freight liners (including most of our 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, Hambela, Dambi Uddo, Nano Challa, Duromina, and so many others)
• The Central American coffees that just landed all shared the same vessel (“Sealand Guayaquil” for those keeping track), which is being unloaded today, last I checked. Fingers crossed that we are able to access those coffees by early next week and can list some of our first coffees from sourcing projects and long term relationships like Guatemala Xinabajul, El Salvador Matalapa, Nicaragua Buenos Aires, and more.
• Overall, we are still seeing rolling ETA’s for our shipments. But coffees are starting to land, and once they arrive in Oakland, the turnaround from docking to unloading at the Annex/Continental green coffee storageGreen coffee is the dried seed from the fruit of a tree.

This year’s harvest was very small in BurundiBurundi coffee bears resemblance to neighboring Rwanda, in both cup character, but also the culture surrounding coffee. Burundi is a small landlocked country at the crossroads of East..., which is reflected in the limited availability we’re seeing. As such, we don’t expect to have quite as much Burundi coffee this year.
• As our Colombian offers start to dwindle, we are starting to receive new offers from Nariño and Inzá, coffees that will ship at the beginning of August.
• Liquid Amber blend is still on hold! We apologize for the delay, but our coffee is still stuck in IndiaS-795 is a variety based on the " S-Line" coffees of  India, and stands for Selection 795,  It has a very fine cup, one of the best in.... The ports are working to get back up to capacity following the recent horrible COVID-19 outbreak in India, but we are still in queue for a shipping line. We hope to see progress by the end of the month and have the missing Monsoon and RobustaAteng is a common name for Catimor coffees widely planted in Sumatra and other Indonesia isles.: Ateng, with several subtypes, is a common name for Catimor coffees widely... ingredients by mid-August.

Upcoming green coffees currently on the schedule to be added to our website:

*Please keep in mind the monthly outlook is partly based on ETA’s for coffees still en route to us. Coffees with a Location status of “In Transit” and “Arrived at Port” are not in our possession, subject to delays, and may be added to our site at a later month than what’s published here depending on when they become available to us. Thanks for understanding!
