There are some coffees out there that they leave you with an "ah-ha" moment. Coffees that are so expressive that they leave a mark that cannot be erased. The 2004 crop of Tegu was an "ah-ha" coffee for me. I can still, to this day, recall how juicy it was with orange flavors. I've been waiting years, literally, for this coffee to return.  This is the last week for the 2008 Tegu.  It's changed as the crop has aged, less cream, more juice, just the way I like it.

 

The Coffee... A remarkably clean, bright lot sourced directly from our gifted partners at the Tegu coffee mill, this lot from Kenya offers up sweet, fruitful notes of berry, citrus, and sweet butter above savory undertones and a perfect, creamy body.
