Coffee is a crop. It may seem odd to think of coffee this way since it is also a dried seed from a small fruiting tree. And we don’t think about the crop cycle of other dried seeds on our kitchen shelves. But there is a particular window of time when a new cropRefers to fresh shipments of green coffee within the first month or two of the earliest arrivals ... not quite the same as Current Crop, which means the... ...more of coffee arrives at the Oakland port (a mere 5 minutes from our shop) and all the good coffee buyers are on the hunt for the best lot.
In general, the first coffees that arrive from a growing region are not the best, since these usually represent lower-elevation trees. (Coffee cherries ripen first at the lower elevations, and these coffees never have the brightnessA euphemistic term we use often to describe acidity in coffee. A bright coffee has more high, acidic notes. : A euphemistic term to describe acidity in coffee.... ...more of the higher grown, denser, slow-maturing seeds). And sometimes the last coffees to come in are ones that have been held up at port or in a warehouse somewhere, getting the flavor steamed out of them. It’s the mid-crop coffees that usually represent the best farms from the higher locales. Right about now it’s Sumatra time, and a handful of recent lots of Grade One, Dry-Process Mandhelings have been simply outstanding.
We will be offering these by particular lot number. Lot 4283 is on the current list. It looks a bit rough but has the most wet-humus, earthyEarthy is a flavor term with some ambivalence, used positively in some cases, negatively in others.: Sumatra coffees can have a positive earthy flavor, sometimes described as "wet... ...more oomph of any Sumatra I have cupped this year, but without tasting like there’s a dirt clod steeping in the cup (and that’s a hard balanceSuggests a harmony and proportion of qualities, and implies mildness since no one quality dominates.: Balance is both an obvious and slippery taste term. It implies a harmony... ...more to strike!)

Coffee is a flowering shrub that produces fruit. The seeds of the fruit are processed, roasted,... ...more with a dark opalescent color, and has a straight-ahead base-note Sumatra earthiness with fruitedIn some coffee taster’s lexicon, “fruity” means the coffee is tainted with fruit, and “fruited” means a coffee is graced by positive fruit notes.

Of course, there’s also the premium Sumatras, the Triple Pick’s and Super-Preps. These are coffees that have gone through extra passes at the hand-sorting tables to remove defective seeds. It’s risky because the coffee ends up costing a bit more, and it is possible to “over-prepare” a Sumatra, to “prep” the character right out of the cup. But you can also create a stellar coffee, a butterscotch roast tasteThe set of flavors that result from the degree-of-roast.: Roast Taste is a term we started to distinguish it from "Origin Flavor". We use the "roast taste" term... ...more, exotic spiced fruit flavors, and the coffee can be roasted lighter than other Sumatras to underscore these qualities.

A Triple Pick roasted to a City stage, and rested a day or two is something to behold, since the whole top end of the cup profile is missing from heavily-roasted batches. This year’s big bean Iskandar is outstanding, and we are looking at new crop samples of the Batak, Lintong, Tawar, and Karo Highland to find the best from those coffees. So think about this as a good time to experience the Indonesian coffees, and be prepared for the April and May arrivals of the Central Americans. Judging from pre-shipment samples of Chiapas, and Huehuetenango, there is great promise.
It’s Nice to Be Near the Port…
Besides paying quadruple the rent and $2.15 a gallon for gas, I knew there would be some other benefits for moving the business to California (well, besides the 68 degree days of February). There are some remarkable advantages to being in the center of the main Specialty coffeeSpecialty coffee was a term devised to mean higher levels of green coffee quality than average "industrial coffee" or "commercial coffee". At this point, the term is of... ...more port in the United States. The first has been picking up small lots of coffee directly from the warehouse, often within days of its arrival through the mouth of the Golden Gate. Spending time at the huge coffee warehouses at the Port of Oakland puts the coffee trade in perspective for me. On any given day I see small mixed lots of coffee being put on pallets for a multitude of small, local roasters. Next to those I see complete container loads transferred out of their steel vaults fresh off the ocean-going ships, and thrown onto pallets by 2 guys with special bag hooks for hands. (Yes, every container is unloaded by hand since they are not on pallets within the container. This is because a) space is money and b) wood pallets will not pass USDA inspection.) These 250-300 bag lots are often immediately loaded onto 53′ rigs for delivery to a big roasting business, some running several 4 bag roasters (500+ Lbs. per batch!), as opposed to the local guy with a 14 or 24 Lb. roaster. I see the better coffees going out to the little guys who are happy with smaller lots …and both decent and crappy coffee tagged for delivery to the huge companies. (Oh, why not name names: Sara Lee buying the moderately good BrazilBrazil is a coffee giant . As Frank Sinatra sang, "they grow an awful lot of coffee in Brazil".: Brazil is a coffee giant . As Frank Sinatra... ...more Oberon, but a full container of Vietnam 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... ...more with about 50% below-grade, black beans being shipped out to Superior Coffee -ironic, eh?)
… and It’s Nice to Be Near the Brokers …
The other great benefit to life in Coffeeville -I mean Emeryville – is to be surrounded by roasting companies and a host of coffee brokers. It’s hard to describe how a good relationship with a broker works, because it’s a lot more than the money. I suppose it is like any business relationship, where who you know, and who looks out for you counts. There is a real competition for the best lots of coffee, and when they are identified, the sell like wildfire. As a buyer, you need to always be ready to strike. It can’t matter so much if you need it or not -if it’s good you have to get it immediately. Sometimes this is an SAS sale -Subject to Approval of Sample. This is when a coffee is yet to be shipped from the originIn coffee talk, it refers to a coffee-producing region or country; such as, "I was just at origin." Of course "Origin" for most product we use is not... ...more country, but the sample is so good that it will be sold out long before it hits the Port of Oakland. But once it arrives, if the actual lot sample is not as promising as the pre-ship sample was, then you can simply reject it. The other way to buy is Spot, meaning that the coffee is in the warehouse. These sell out in a day or two if the coffee comes in as a sleeper, an unexpected winner. There’s basically not a day that I don’t talk to brokers, and being close at hand means that I am in closer contact than was possible in Columbus Ohio!
But the best asset of being in Coffeeville has been 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.... ...more all the 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... ...more Auction Lots and, basically, bidding directly in the auctions for the lot. That means I can pick and chose from over a hundred of the top Kenya coffees in the auctions, and we can buy the entire output from these small farms and co-ops. The lots are often just 20-30 bags, and when they are gone, they are gone. The competition for these can be fierce late in the season, but we acted early and have already bought three outstanding lots: Mika AA, Rugeju AA, and Mbwinjeru AA. Look for them in April or so. In the meantime, our Kiawamururu and Kenya AA Top cup right there with the best of them.
