MannyGate7 Very informative thank you!
Philip Coats Interesting to see that coffee comes from such a wide variety of places. Curious to know just how much the taste of each varies (with a similar roast temperature) due to soil composition and other localized variables.
Dean Dahlstedt Absolutely amazing that coffee is the 4th most popular drink in the world, yet it appears to be produced in such small quantities in many regions. This truly is a special drink. I now know why Hawaiian coffee so expensive. Only 100 bags a year! How many times have I roasted a Panama Esmeralda Gesha or a Kenya AA without realizing that those are the very best of only 90 and 850 bags per year respectively. These fact really make me realize how truly lucky we are to be able to enjoy the very best of this wonderful drink. Great article, thanks.
paul hees Great stuff, a lot of interesting information presented in a condensed but appealing format. As a big fan of both, it never occurred to me that Ethiopia produces 8 times as much as Kenya. Wondering if China is still growing- thought Yunnan was on course to rival Vietnam? Thanks!

I bought this Klatch World's Best Espresso in a variety pack and this stood out as my favorite out of 6 different kinds. It had a natural chocolate flavor with a very slight lemony notes and a nutty aroma. I've been crazing this coffee again. The other tie for first for me was the Atomic Café Intensi Espresso with virtually identical chocolatey lemony nutty. And a micron close second was the Klatch Coffee Belle Espresso with a natural caramely sweetness that was shockingly good and an amazing lingering aroma. In the 20 dollars per pound range these are easy recommendations.

Fantastic medium roast!
I've fallen in love with the delicate flavors of this coffee - it's very nutty and very different from other coffees I've received from WLL (mostly dark roast). Some hints of vanilla in there as well. I've brewed this with an Expobar semi-automatic machine in my house, and used a high-quality grinder. The results have been wonderful, and I would recommend experimenting with various fine-tunings of the grind. Different flavors come out with different settings, and it's a matter of personal preference.
