First cup of this, at your recommendation. I really like it. After the first sip, the word that came to mind was, "clean." No muddy aftertaste - good depth, earth, hints of fruit?

Definitely a noticeable, natural fruitiness. Almost a "sweetness" to the flavors, without being sweet.....if that makes sense.

I haven't seen the one in the markets near me.

I'm bringing some of this down to you, PH!

That's thoughtful of you, PH. I'll try some other markets. If I can't find it, I'll take you up on that when I'm able to get that Echo Mountain Mexican coffee and see what you think of it. I've been in touch with them but they don't send it directly in to the US, so when a friend of theirs goes, she gets me 5 pounds.

I looked all over Puerto Vallarta for that, and came up empty. Just as well I guess; the wife and I can't both have expensive beverage habits.

It's not expensive, just difficult to get. They used to have an importer in Las Vegas, but not any more.

Melita dark roast. Black.

Rue de la course was my favorite coffee shop when I lived in New Orleans. They used to have one on magazine street but its been closed and I think the only one that is left is on Carrollton av.

Kopi luwak. Enjoyed at, of all places, a remote fly-in fishing camp in northern Saskatchewan.

Vin, I've been doing that for years, mostly in Nunavut or Manitoba. Which outfitter did you use? I usually go with Gangler.

No outfitter. This camp was purchased (or more accurately, the land was leased for 99 years from natives) and built in the late 70's by a friend's father. The only access is a by seaplane from the airbase in Missinipe, SK and there are only three cabins on the eight-mile long lake. Eight guys, one week a year, eating and drinking ridiculously well. And a little fishing when there's time.

Wow. Seriously, that sounds like heaven.

We fly in to a lake with our group of 4-6 guys and have the lake to ourselves for a week. Really nice cabins with flush toilets, indoor showers, a full kitchen, and even a hotel-style ice machine. The refrigerator is stocked with a lot of good food. Love it.

(thread drift alert) Some of my fondest childhood memories are on Lac Le June in central B.C. at the crack of dawn, still a little chilly, the lake like glass, with a fine fog/mist hanging just on the water surface, hearing the Northern Loon's haunting call echo from far across the lake, and hearing the silence only broken by the occasional "swish" of our fly lines and the "plunk" of a nice trout jumping somewhere near in the fog, then turning for the cabin, smelling coffee and frying bacon drifting out across the water...
