Law On Coffee

Costa Rica Tarrazu – Uber Geek Coffee Roasters January 2, 2009

This is a weird one. My wife is big into cloth diapering for our daughter. So much so that she makes her own sometimes, knits covers and posts of message boards. The most popular way to sell your diapers or covers is using hyena cart, which is a web service that lets you set up your own store, stock it, etc. Once day cruising Hyena Cart’s site, she found the Uber Geek Coffee Roasters and got me a bag.

Talk about local roasters, these guys are as local as you can get. Not to me of course, they’re in Montana somewhere, but this is what I think of when I hear “small local roaster.” They literally roast in their backyard, and close down the business when it’s too cold to go out. Awesome.

I got a bag of their Costa Rica Tarrazu beans. It’s rated a full city but I felt it was a little lighter than that. Great aroma and color from the bag. Since I was at home for the winter break, we made drip as well as french press. I think these beans made a great drip coffee, strong coffee taste with a mellow ending. The french press however, nothing special to report. Just tasted like Costa Rican coffee, bold and rich.

I’d like to try some of their other coffees, especially their Huehuetenango since I liked Counter Culture’s so much although it is listed as decaf, so I dunno. I like the idea of helping out the little guys, and these guys are definitely little.
