One of the coffees that arrived yesterday. I taste every new coffee roasted lots of different ways to figure out the approach I want to take in production. Even very similar coffees that might taste the same from one season to the next might require slightly different approaches to roasting to get that match.

It turns out that while there are clear flavor differences among each of the cups, most of them are quite good. That's useful to know when talking with home roasters because this means they can put the coffee pretty much wherever they generally like coffees and there's a good chance it'll be delicious. That isn't always (or usually) the case.
