The Coffees

The following are the green coffee beans currently in stock here at Coffeys Coffee. These are reasonably priced high quality coffee beans that suit my style of roasting. Other beans will be purchased and added to the list as they are available and if they meet my standards. I can accommodate special orders if requested, but there will be a minimum purchase required.

Supremos are the largest and highest quality Colombian coffee beans. Grown in the Andes mountains and probably the most popular in the world. This classic coffee is distinguished by its full body, rich flavor, and medium-high acidity. It's perfect for drinking morning, afternoon, or evening.

This complex and aromatic gourmet coffee is grown high up in Antigua’s premier mountain growing area, where the beans ripen slowly. Its bright, smooth cup, enhanced by its chocolate note, can be mistaken for its Central American neighbor, Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee.

Natural milling slowly dries and hardens the ripe cherries, giving this coffee an earthy flavor with low acidity and an earthy herbal aroma. Due to Sumatra Mandheling’s syrupy body and low acidity it continues to be one of the more popular coffees.

Sun-dried Harrar is one of the world's finest premium coffees. Grown at an altitude of 2000 meters to 2750 meters, this longish bean with a yellowy golden tinge has medium acidity, full body and an oh so distinctive deep mocca flavor. Because it produces a foamy "tigretto" type cream, Ethiopian coffee growers have begun touting it for espresso coffee. Some also blend it, for the wild and fruity acidity it brings. Harrar is produced in the Ethiopia's eastern highlands and exported from the town of Dire Dawa.

Tanzania's premium beans, grown on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro near the Kenyan border, produce an unusually rich coffee with a lighter, winy acidity and medium body. The peaberry – only 5% of Tanzanian coffee – occurs when the coffee fruit develops a single oval bean rather than the usual pair of flat-sided beans. The round peaberries are then separated from the flatter beans in the same crop to achieve this gourmet coffee. Peaberry grade coffee is prized by coffee connoisseurs for their uniform roasts.
Mythology has it that the peaberry is male, and often associated with virility.

This is a blend of the Colombian decaf and whatever coffee you want, at whatever level decaf you want. Popular blends are 50 % decaf or 25% decaf blended with Tanzanian Peaberry or 33% decaf blended with Colombian Supremo.

Cooley Roast

This is a popular roast named for friends who, with constructive criticism, guided me to produce this special product. Those who enjoy this type of fully roasted coffee are very loyal and frequent customers. Specifically, it is Ethiopian Harrar roasted to the darkest edge of the dark side that I would dare to tread.

Fair Trade & Organic Coffees

The following fair trade and organic coffees are currently being stocked. More will become available as demand increases and will be added to the list. I am trying to purchase reasonably priced coffees but social consciousness does come at a cost. So far I have been able to offer all coffees in this category at only a $2 premium over the regular coffee.

Colombian Fair Trade Organic

This fine arabica, grown at high altitudes in Columbia's mountains, comes to us from one of the Third World's legendary organic organizations, Asociación de Producción y Mercadeo para la Educación, or ASPROME for short. In 1985, to counter their reliance on the coco crop and the drug trade, a group of small farmers in southeastern Colombia's Cauca region got together to set up this cooperative. Today, with the help of German NGOs, ASPROME has become an umbrella association for eleven smaller groups, all cultivating organic fruit. ASPROME then processes the fruit to make everything from coffee to jams, and fruit purees for sale abroad. Through ASPROME, 450 families now earn their living without resorting to coca and heroin.

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Fair Trade Organic

Ethiopia, the legendary home of the coffee plant and Africa's largest exporter, grows remarkably varied and distinctive beans. One of the very finest comes from the Yirgacheffe region -- the only coffee allowed in the palaces of Ethiopian kings. Today, this bean, which grows in high elevations under a soft canopy of native shade trees, is developing an almost cult-like following among bean aficionados. Widely recognized as one of the world's most exquisite coffees, Yirgacheffe's fragrant and flowery citrus note sets it apart from any other bean you will encounter. Many compare its rich flavor to that of burgundy wines.

Papua New Guinea Fair Trade Organic

In keeping with New Guineas tradition, this coffee is strictly Organically grown, Fair Traded coffee. Also typically, Papua New Guineas are of very high quality and impeccably prepared green coffees.

Peru Fair Trade Organic DECAF Swiss Water Process

Peru Fair Trade Organic is grown in the mountain regions of northern Peru and possesses a rather intense and rich flavour that is less acidic than other blends. The 100% chemical free Swiss Water® decaffeination process ensures taste is preserved.
