Chopbiscuit at home: coffee review -Guatemala Finca Nueva Armenia {Counter Culture}

Every morning when I'm not on the road, prior to performing 100 one-handed push ups (Jack Palance) style, acrobatic worthy somersaults and my 5K unicycle ride down an expert's only mountain bike run -  I make my cup of morning Joe. Generally, I have a new blend from one of the many favorite joints and roasters I've seen throughout my years on the road. Lately, I've been ordering most of my coffee (mail order) from Counter Culture. For me, it doesn't get any better than this. These guys and gals eat, sleep and breathe coffee and all the nuances around it.


This month's shipment featured selection: Guatemala Finca Nueva Armenia {Counter Culture}



I feel ashamed. My last shipment of coffee sat on my shelf for a little too long while I was gallivanting (do the kids say that anymore?) across the country for work. I like to pound back a pound of coffee per week and this sat on my shelf for about two full weeks. Shame on me. Foolish games.

Even with the extended shelf life this coffee had a fruitiness and crisp acidity. It also had  well rounded mouth feel. Make sure you check out here to find out about the brothers that founded the farm and the history of the bourbon trees that were planted there. A great solid coffee for beginner's who are learning the delicate nuances about flavor profiles.
