I can't imagine it is, but I'm interested as well.

It's absolutely spectacular. The coffee takes heat quite easily. I kept the profile short, with a very short finish as well. It sparkles with it's sweet florals and juicy clean citrus and jasmine.

On a similar vein, has anyone tried their Harar Gr1? I was tempted to pick some up. If I do, I'll order another bag of the Esmeralda.

Tom, is this Panama Geisha the same bean as GCBC has at 13$?

No, the offering on GCBC (still likely to be quite impressive, I ordered some) is one tier below the Roastmasters offering.

Hacienda La Esmeralda Grand Reserve/Special = Online auction $$$$$

Hacienda La Esmeralda Private Collection (formerly Boquete) = Roastmasters offering $$$

Hacienda La Esmeralda Geisha 1500 = Current offering on CGBC $$

That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification

SM's Pulcal Intelligente. Chocolate coated black current Kenya. Better than the superb Pulcal from a few years back; and one of the best coffees this year. Works as spro too.

I got this Ethiopia Yirga Cheffe Dry Process -Gedeb Asasa at SMs https://www.sweetmarias.com/product/eth ... edeb-asasa. I found it outstanding. Fruity and complex. Smells great. I roasted about City+. Might be my favorite bean ever. I'm not great with the coffee descriptors so I'll leave it at that.

I also noticed Bodhi Leaf has Ethiopia Natural Yirgacheffe Gedeb Lot 29 http://www.bodhileafcoffee.com/collecti ... t-29-green.

I wonder how similar they are.

Good to know. I was looking at that coffee on Shrub and considered buying it. I have some plans a-brewin'. (pun totally intended)

anybody have any particular thoughts about the new kenyan peaberry, Kenya Nyeri Ichuga Peaberry that was posted recently at sweet marias? rated as 91.3 wih over a 9 for complexity of flavor...I am considering a 5lb, but just started looking for some so hesitate to pull the trigger right away.

First fresh crop Kenya (Peaberry) hitting Sweet Maria's reads like something spectacular.
