Greetings from Vermont! Foliage is in full swing here, and the mountain outside our office is alight with reds and oranges. And, in the true spirit of New England, it is just after Columbus day and we have already had several snow sightings. How time flies.
And time is marching away here at Mocha Joe's! We are again welcoming (back) a new (old) roaster! Joe Motika, the newest (oldest?) addition to our roasting team worked for us from 2002 to 2007, when he left for the open road and greener pastures. Well, evidently there are no greener pastures than Mocha Joe's, and after a two year haitus, Joe is back again and in full swing. We are all excited to have him back, and you should be too! Joe is a professional chef and an excellent roaster... the care and attention that he shows the coffee along with his appreciation for subtle flavor nuances are already yielding some exciting results. We hope you think so too. Welcome back Joe!
In addition to welcoming Joe, I would also like to call your attention to another feather in our cap this autumn... our new Kenya Kiamabara is now available in the store. This coffee is truly as good as it gets, with notes of ripe cherry and vanilla bean. It is a very special offering and only available for a limited time. It will be one in a series of three "Super Kenyas" this year. Get it before it's too late!
There are also several other new offerings in our store that I would like to call your attention to. Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is back and better than ever. Really, this new Ethiopian is absolutely delicious. We also have a kind of new, exciting offering from Bali (who knew?). It is a really complex and different coffee-- with hints of vanilla bean and black licorice. Different enough to keep you excited, but not so different that everyone can't enjoy it. It's my current favorite, and I reccomend that everyone give it a try.
I hope that you all ejnoying your autumn... and our coffee!
Best,
Jackie
