I've had good luck with Coffee Bean Corral - quick shipping, good selection.

I'm sure there are a lot of good resources within this and other threads, but Klatch would belong on the list.vecchi della seattle wrote:Thanks for the heads up on Happy Mug Coffee. Do you like any other green bean suppliers for the small home roaster? SM of course and I've used Burman Coffee Traders a couple of times.

Panamanians. I am partial to them, having spent some time on a farm in Boquete as well as talking with the Lamastus brothers and dad. Few make their way north because high end stuff gets consumed on the domestic market as there is sufficient disposable income to afford good coffee within Panama.
Burman has a gaggle of them today and marked down. Current crop; I grabbed a pound of all the washed (not a big fan of naturals) coffees and will post cupping notes if I find a stellar one in there.

I've been really enjoying this coffee but it's on the expensive side. But now it's 25% off today & tomorrow @Bodhi Leaf. Code "NICARAGUA".

As espresso it's vibrant, sweet, juicy,fruity...just as their write-up describes it. As an Americano it's lively and elegantly nuanced (my description).
I enjoy roasting it as it gives you lots of time to decide when to drop it (on my Fresh Roast). Just don't let it go to 2nd crack. Every year I'm surprised by a new origin, variety, or process method. Last year it was Costa Rica as espresso. This year it's this one. I don't find it funky or fermenty. Very clean at least for me. If anyone here has tried this bean, I'd really like their opinion on it.
BTW all their Nicaraguans are on sale.

I always like to treat me and my family to a nice Geisha around the Holidays. Historically I've gotten them from Roastmasters and I see once again that they have several offerings. Can anyone recommend one or even an entirely different offering from another site?

grabbing a big bag of this, seems like their best kenyan so far this year (at least judging solely by the score and description): https://www.sweetmarias.com/kenya-nyeri ... -6922.html
This AA lot from Rukira is something special! If I were a betting man, I'd put my money behind this one at competition, hands down. In my opinion, it requires a lighter roast treatment in order to capture the incredible array of flavor and aroma in the brew. Too dark, and you risk compromising those aspects. A spiced grape note hangs in the air when when grinding a City roast, with hints of dark fruit and heavier sweetness that's like sugar browning in a pan. The wet grounds extract fruited notes of plum and pineapple from underlying saccharine sweet smells of caramel and buttery toffee, along with a sprinkling of baking spices, such as mace and cardamom spice. This is a most incredible Kenyan brewed coffee, with delicious fruited qualities that are particularly vibrant in the lighter roasts. I'm in awe by the cup profile at City and City+, fruited with notes of mixed berry juice, ripe pineapple, and tangy yellow plum. The highlights in the cooling cup point to tart pomegranate, along with a grapefruit accent in my lightest roast level that adds a nice, bright citrus high tone. The aftertaste has amazing aroma of tropical fruit and spices, and a note of coconut water that leads to a retro-nasal, floral-type response in the nose. Fruited notes carry little weight without backing sweetness, and Rukira delivers layers of it underneath, helping to emphasize all the top note highlights, and also fill out the bottom end nicely. My only complaint is that we couldn't get more!
