Sideyard Coffee: September 26 - Guatemala & Ethiopia
Hello Sideyard Friends,
I roasted two coffees this week–the end of the Ethiopia Hamasho Village and the start of a new bag of green from Guatemala. Subscribers will be receiving the Guatemala (Xinabajul Familia Villatoro) and samplers will receive one or the other.
For tasting notes on the Ethiopian, check out last week's email. In the Guatemala you can look out for bittersweet cocoa, nutty flavors, and apple-like acidity. The kind of acidity we're talking about here is the one we associate with bright and lively flavors, rather than PH level acidity. However, flavor acidities do have a slight correlation with the PH acidity as well. Generally, coffees hover around 4.5 to 5 on the PH scale, with a really lively/bright-tasting Kenyan coffee coming in closer to 4.5 and a flatter/earthier Sumatran coffee coming in at 5 or higher. For reference, fruit juices, beer, and wine all hover in the 3's, outdoing coffee in acidity levels by a surprising margin (7 is neutral and lower numbers = more acidity). There's plenty of geeking out to be had if you want to read more.
October deliveries start next Saturday so this email also serves as your monthly subscription reminder. If you're a first-time subscriber, please use the following form to sign up before Wednesday 9/30 (so I have a good count on how much coffee I need to roast): https://forms.gle/gK9KR53sFz4NxcHN9
