This one looks very interesting!

I agree. It looks like it is 2016-17 harvest. Does Intelli store greens that long? Like George Howell?

I've had it several times, last time around 6 months ago. It is a coffee that Intelly gets each year. The odd harvest dates may be due to the page not being revised.

FWIW, I remember it as tasty, with characteristic Ethiopian flavors, and quite tractable for espresso, at least on a lever machine. Start your dialing in by dosing and grinding it like a medium roast, rather than a light one, since it's not super acidic or grassy.

Just one coffee this month? I guess they'll send two bags of it. I think they did that a few months ago too.

Yeah, sometimes you get two coffees, sometimes you get two bags of the same. Always two bags.

Wonder why the coffee is not available from Intelligentsia on the website

The other day they had a banner on their website for it, but the link was broken to it.

It looks like MistoBox and Crema.co have had it before. I think it will be coming back on their website, but maybe they are waiting until the orders are filled for the subscription.

I saw the banner, but when I asked about the coffee, I received a reply that it was not in season

Not in season for non-subscription customers...I see what they did there.

Current crop Ethiopias are just starting to hit. I'd bet this is last years crop. I'll be getting mine soon. We'll see.
