PT's, the famed 3rd wave roaster from Topeka, also sells
green coffee. I always like when top roasters sell their beans green, since it is an assurance of quality, after all, they sell these coffees under their own name. Here's a few I tried recently:
El Salvador Finca La Mercedes Pepinal and Avila: Talk about terroir! These two were clearly akin when I blind cupped them, since they had a unique and very alluring succulence, somewhere between a fruit and a vegetable (Agave, maybe?). The Avila is a natural, more complex; while the Pepinal is more focused. Both cup around 92.
El Salvador Finca El Molino Orange Bourbon: If someone got a perfect balance on an estate blend of Bourbon and Paca, it would taste like this: a classic Central American cup with subtle hints of orange blossom, fresh almonds, and chocolate. Around 90.
Ethiopia Sidamo Guji Region "Ardi": Very clean with the classic Sidamo florals, green tea and chocolate. Sweet, well worth trying, but slightly faded, as if it had stayed in country too long. Very good provided you roast smaller lots, faster and gentler than usual. Brew it 1 1/2 strength, and for espresso, roast lighter than usual. 88 points.
Brazil Ipanema Dulce: I was apprehensive, since this was an extremely acrid coffee few years back. But they've cleaned up their act. A very simple and very sweet coffee with mango-plum and ceder notes and almost no acidity. Roast it very light, stopped well before even the first pops of the second, for espresso for a classic North Italian shot profile. 85 as a brew, 88 as a shot. This coffee will work oddly as an espresso blend base -- roast it very light for the fruit and ceder, and blend it with a darker roasted central Bourbon for the nuts, chocolate and smoke.
