A Christmas Story told no better than by Mike Perry
from Klatch: "It's called Original Christmas Blend
because it dates back to Santa's first Christmas. As the
story goes, Santa was originally a reindeer farmer in the
highlands of Ethiopia. While allowing the reindeer to
frolic and feed from the vegetation, Santa noticed them
prancing around with extra energy. The reindeer
became so energetic in fact, they began to fly around.
Santa traced this energy to a new tree filled with red
cherries. One reindeer, Rudolf, ate so many cherries his
nose became red. Santa was so inspired; he tried the
cherries himself and loved them. The only problem:
Santa could not sleep at night. So while lying awake one
night, Santa decided to visit the villages and share this
wonderful gift of coffee with everyone. Not to leave the
children out, Santa began making gifts to leave behind
for all the kids. Using the prancing (now flying)
reindeer, Santa took off and delivered the coffee and
gifts to the entire world in one night. Thus, the story of
the first Christmas and the Original Christmas Blend."
Merry Christmas to All!

Don your white woven Panama hat and recline in
your
Sarchi chair. That perfect summertime coffee has
arrived!
Mike at Klatch coffee has
done it again with this phenomenal naturally
processed Panama coffee. Panama Elida Natural is
not your typical coffee. It is almost like a Geisha type
coffee but
for a considerably lower price. This beauty
produces wonderful sweet berries and
floral notes. It has a berryish
chocolatey body with a bit of boysenberry and guava.
It finishes with an almost banana aftertaste.
It is currently the number one favorite coffee of
Klatch team
member Nzo right now.
I have to agree, it is one not to miss.
Fall is here! The warm October sun is shining bright with a
little breeze from the bay here in San Francisco. It is especially
now, before things get cold and the fog rolls in over the hills
that I love a sexy and juicy African coffee. Smokin Aces
Ethiopia Idido hits the mark. Bullseye! This coffee is from the
Idido Mill and grown on a single farm in the famed Gedeo
Zone. This beautiful natural processed coffee was grown with
love and sundried on raised beds. The intense fruit forward
flavor of Blackberry Jam, Blueberry and Citrus will make you
smile. It is a grade 1 coffee, which is the highest grade of
Ethiopian in the Yirgacheffe category. I just love it as a pour-
over coffee in our Hario V60 or via Clever. I also tried it as a
cold brew and was simply delighted! Try this coffee from our
new roaster and let this coffee and its magic shine brightly in
your cup.
