Try Peet's Uzuri African Blend if you can find it. It's been in heavy rotation at my place.

bitter, very apparent tannins, medium bodied
i find this unbalanced and undrinkable.

The coffee nerds at the local shop informed me Yirgacheffe is now out of season; the Gutiti Alemu they suggested also hails from Ethiopia, has a similar flavor profile and is an excellent coffee in its own right.

It's likely to be very popular in Texas: Remember the Alemu!
I'm having an espresso roast from mixed Ethiopian beans.

Found it PH....also very enjoyable. A little less "punch"...nice coffee for the weekend in the french press.
Just got in 10 pounds of different Intellegentsia coffee....looking forward to trying these as well.
Glad you liked it. Peet's MD Blend is definitely more caffeinated than just about any other of their coffees that I've tried.
Had a client drop off a pound of Ethiopian Jimma beans yesterday, so it's next in the rotation. Never had this before so should be fun.

So much for my witty comment that I had all queued up.
Counter Culture El Tigre - Costa Rica. I'm still undecided on my preference for C. American coffee as I prefer a bit more body. This particular coffee is an enjoyable clean light to medium bodied coffee that works well in the morning with only the slightest hint of citrus. Certainly on the opposite end of over roasted and bitter.
Two Brothers White Sky seasonal.
A nice fresh ground and pressed Sulawesi-Kalosi. Very nice cup of joe.
Got a nice little stash from Stumptown Roasters in Seattle. We bought Guatemala Finca el Injerto Bourbon, El Salvador Kilimanjaro, Costa Rica Torres Villalobos, and Guatemala Finca el Injerto Pacamara. The Pacamara has been in our hopper for the last 3 days, and it is really delicious, about a medium weight, quite creamy and rich. I used it this morning to make espresso as well, and while I generally prefer a darker espresso, it was quite nice for a change of pace.

There is a local "upscale" grocery store that uses Stumptown in their coffee shop and also sells their beans. I liked the one version I bot a lot and will buy Stumptown beans again. I think I need to put them in an airtight container though. They seemes to dry out really fast, and are in a paper bag. Another brand I love and buy comes in the "plasticky" bag that seems to re-seal better and stay fresh longer.

I agree the paper bags don't lend themselves to long storage, Bill. I'm not certain how much it helps, but I put my 3 unopened bags into a larger plastic bag, squeezed out as much air as I could, and sealed it with a twist-tie.
I understand that it's not good to keep beans in the fridge, as the essential oils tend to ooze out at very low (or high) temperatures, so plastic bag in a dark cupboard is the best I can do. I much prefer the vacuum sealed plastic bags as well.
This morning I had some Stumptown Hair-Bender at home. I was able to pick up beans yesterday that were roasted on 12/1.
