Java beans

Coffee aficionado Mike Hudson swung through the D last week and brought with
him some of the West Coast’s finest. 
I was lucky enough to partake in a brew of each.   I
sampled the Four Barrel Colombian first – it was good…I mean real good.  If you are in the SF office, like coffee and
have not checked this place out yet, get on it. 
The next cup was from Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia roasted by Intelligentsia it
charmed my palate with its citrus fruit acidity, the Kurimi sparkled and shone
as it brought forth flavors of orange, lime and lemongrass. Notes of jasmine and
honeysuckle carried a delicate sweetness that gave the cup a juicy, refreshing
character.   The subtle and clean finish
left notes of sweet spice and cocoa.  Truly
an elegant cup.
