Flores Bajawa

Flores Bajawa is our newest coffee offering from Indonesia. Production has existed there for many years but only recently has quality improved to a high standard. The cup is full with a sweet, mildly floral flavor.

Bajawa is a small village nestled in the hills of Flores, one of the lesser Sunda Islands just east of Java.

Varietal characteristics are similar to coffees from New Guinea, Java, and Timor. My first taste of Flores was in 1978 when Alfred Peet had a small lot of the coffee. We are glad it is back and pleased to offer it at $8.95 per pound. --Jamie Anderson

Tanzania Ruvuma

Our friend, John Roenigk, proprietor of Austin Wine Merchant, has pleaded with me for a new supply of Tanzanian coffee. After a long search we secured a small lot of AA grade from the Ruvuma region in the south of the country, where it grows under the shade of banana trees

The coffee is medium-bodied and produces a lively, zesty cup. We trust John and our other customers will find it tasty. Offered while it lasts at $9.95 per pound. ---Jamie Anderson
