We rocked the Indian Sitara as a single origin espresso on a Mirage in the lobby Friday morning at the State Street Theatre in Ithaca, where the NERBC was held. A few heads were turned because the bean was featured in the coffee dinner served by the Carriage House Cafe the evening prior, and it got high praise from the judges. Because the coffee dinner was open only to the judges,many of the competitors, volunteers, and spectators were anxious to get a crack at it. We feel that as a roaster we "got out of the way of the grower" and served this bean, a washed robusta, in an impressive fashion. Our mantra is to roast in a way that the grower would appreciate...
Also, our Brazil was used in Deferio's blend. He makes us look good, but he wouldn't use our stuff it wasn't any good. "It's a nice Brazil." Congrats Chris for taking second place in the region.
