This coffee is produced in the highland plateau of Onang Ganjang by small holding farmers. Fresh cherry is picked, pulped and fermented for 12 hours without water. Then the cherry is hulled and parchment washed and left to dry for two days. The parchment is then removed using the Giling Basa process of wet hulling, a process unique to Sumatra. The now green beans are allowed to dry for a further 5 days after which they are sorted and hand picked then left for a period of 30 days to rest before ready for shipping. Blue Bianca is prepared by a young local processor in Dolok Sangul.

  Does that mean the Rwanda and Brazilian coffees are Robusta?

    Does that mean the Rwanda and Brazilian coffees are Robusta?

    Do you know how silly that sounds?

    This is like asking: Is Australian Cabbage Red Cabbage?

    Robusta and Arabica beans are of 2 different trees/climates/environments/etc - both can be grown in the same country

      To be fair, we all had to start somewhere in the coffee world… and its a big and complex one at that. While Vortex could have googled it, saying he's silly because he doesn't know coffee 101, well, you could teach him something new instead of just calling him silly.

        Ok,

        Hi Vortex99 here's your coffee 101 from me:

        Coffee is 'mainly' harvested in poor African countries where suppliers undercut the laborers picking the beans. That's why always stick to "Fair Trade" and "Rainforest Alliance" certified coffee as they usually ensure the pickers and transporters of the raw beans get paid regardless the price of coffee index goes up or down.

        Robusta is more caffeinated then Arabica, and usually stronger and easier to plant..Arabica (most will agree) tastes nicer but is (generally) more expensive…I can write 1000 pages on it, but that's your 101 today as requested by FraiserCrane

        Out.

  Hey man! Last time I came to the store to pick my beans up… this might be a long shot but if I order them now could I pick them up this afternoon?

  Pretty please?

    Sorry but haven't roasted the coffees yet and have to close the roastery in 1 hour. I'm roasting these coffees tomorrow so your welcome to collect tomorrow if that suits!?

  Hi Rep,

  A deal or two ago I was able to pay extra to upgrade part of my order to some of your Specialty Coffee – Grand Cru Coffees. Any chance I can do this again but for my whole order. The Geisha coffee you sent was great but I be happy with anything with SCAA Cupping Scores ~90. Happy to pay the extra.

  • 

    Store Repmannabeans @ Manna Beans on 17/03/2015 - 19:45

    Sorry but I don't have a huge amount cupping in the 90's at the moment. Most of the geishas I have which cup around 93 cost about $150-$200 per kg and I have some great Kenya Wamuguma cupping at 91 an Indo Blue Bianca at 91 and lot of great coffees in the high 80's.

    Some of my high eighties coffees are more unique microlots and actually cost more than some of the coffees that we get above 90 points.

    To send these coffees it would require me to perform individual small batch roasts and would therefore need to be ordered through the standard website listings. I tried to help out last time as I was roasting a few suitable coffee but not really possible on this ocassion.

    If you want some coffee recommendations and shoot me through the details on how you usually brew/drink your coffee I'd be happy to suggest a few :-)

  Have you guys ever considered using a different courier than AusPost? Last time my beans took over a week to get delivered, this time it looks like they were shipped on Wednesday afternoon, but are expected to be delivered on Monday.

  http://auspost.com.au/track/track.html?id=DMU0004291

  I'm all outta beans too :(

    Sorry to hear that you had some delays with Australia Post. As a whole they're normally pretty efficient and definitely better for residential deliveries than the courier as we have used them before.

    Looking at the tracking it appears that you received a call card as no one was home and it's at your local Post Office for collection.

    Apologies for the inconvenience

      We missed our last delivery too - but the parcel guy does our house at the end of his run each day - and the very next day he asked us if we had picked up our coffee yet (we had) he said he had really enjoyed his van smelling like fresh roasted coffee all day ;)
