Brewed up a pot of the Tanzanian Peaberry and, damn it wasn't good!

I'd put it up there with the Kenya AA, for different reasons.

So, what brainstorm did I have? Brew up a pot of 50% Kenya AA and 50% Tanzanian Peaberry. Well, unfortunately, they do not complement each quite as well as they stand on their own. Still a very good cup of coffee, but it seemed like the really strong points of each were tempered, rather than enhanced, by mixing.

So, I think I'll be brewing them up separately!

Thanks again guys for the awesome coffee!

Dave

Thats funny; I tried the same thing but my blend was a little different and it worked pretty well. I had a little bit of the peaberry left from the batch that I had sent out ( I had to keep at least two pots worth fo myself :twisted: ) but it wasn't enough for a full pot so I added a tablespoon of the Kenya AA to the three tablespoons I had to the peaberry and it was pretty good. It had the mellowness and brightness of the peaberry, but a light yet lingering finish of the kenya AA. I was surprise that my little experiment worked.

Thanks to all for making this a fun little pass. We should do it again in another month or so.

Yeah - I think you had the right idea (intentionally or not). I'm going to try it again with a 75/25 ratio - I think each coffee could add a nice accent to the other, but when you throw them in 50/50, you get a no-holds-barred cage match.

Can't wait! I loved the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe coffee I got so much, that I placed another order (along with some other stuff) And will be sending it out to my list...I think I'll keep the smokes a secret :twisted:
I woke up to the wonderful aroma of the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe coffee (my sweetie brewed it.) That was a nice surprise. The coffee was a wonderful, medium to light roasted, wholesome goodness with a bit of tang that warms the soul. Thank you, Spider66!

I'm awake now. :shock:
