daveordered my first batch of #bbote in a long while, and it just arrived today. one bottle is designated for eldest to take when she visits from unh, that she may spread the gospel on campus (and survive midterms).
Farrell Hogs@dave wow, today i learned. how do you drink it? straight?
@mnemonica yep. my favorite is straight or added to a chocolate milk (or hot cocoa), for a very fancy mocha. he's got a bunch of suggested mixed drinks to make with it. and i'm just realizing i didn't really have much hard liquor on hand last time we had some, but i went on a spree a year or so ago, so i'm gonna need to try those.
i usually get the nicaragua recreo, sourced from a roastery here in boston that in turn buys solely from their family farm back in jinotega. recreo is my normal day-to-day coffee anyway. but if you're interested, i'd start with the kona or the sampler (and i'd be very happy to send you one of them, i love getting to introduce people to bbote).
after trying most of his varieties, i am entirely convinced by his terroir theory of coffee flavor. and he's also right that kona is the best starting point.
