"How about SweetMaria's Tanzania Blackburn Estate"

That looks interesting. So does the Guatemalan Finca Aqua Tibia. As does those Ethiopian and Yemen beans.

Costa Rica Lourdes de Naranjo Herbazu and Guatemala Huehuetenango Finca La Maravilla both from sweet maria's turned out excellent. The Guatemala was very smooth, and chocolate heavy. Costa Rica quite the opposite, very bright - loads of citrus.

"Guatemala Huehuetenango Finca La Maravilla." Yeah, I had my eye on this one. Since, the Agua Tibia seems to be sold out. I had not looked into the SM Costa Rica coffees.

For the past few weeks, I've been enjoying several coffees from the Dota, Naranjo and Tarrazu regions commercially roasted and purchased in Costa Rica.

Roast : medium, days 5-10
11.5 g in 7g basket @ ~198°F pulled short ristretto, about 20ml in 30s.

Flavors : mocha, darkish chocolate, nuts [brasil and almond], stone fruits [apricots, cherries, plums]
