Tongfamily Website

Well now that we have a fancy coffee machine, you can really tell the best from the worst coffee. I like the Cafe Britt just because I’ve been there. But of course, there is a site Coffeereview.com that covers referrals. The new trend is something called Single Origin Espressos. That is a single bean from a single coffee farm. These ratings are reverse chronological so a good way to see what is “freshest”:

Terroir Coffee

1. Terroir Coffee La Esmeralda. La Esmeralda Panama. It is Rainforest Alliance Certified and micro-roasted. It comes from one coffee famr in Panama. They have a great top 10 list. It is rocking expensive at $23 for 8 ounces, but interesting to have for a coffee test. The coffee is actually shipped on the roast date!
2. Kenya Mamuto. 97
3. Guatemala El Injerto.94
4. La Minita Costa Rica. 94
5. Kenya Kigutha. 95
6. Kenya Karagoto. 96

1. Terroir Coffee Decaf Espresso La Lapa, Costa Rica

   Atomic Cafe

   Another top microroaster that is a coffee house in Massachusetts and now seels its beans

2. Ethiopia Sidamo Natural Korate. 94

1. Kenya Peaberry Ruera Estate. 96

   Some other roasters

2. Coffee Klatch is another small roaster and their Esmeralda also is top rated from the same place. It is even more expensive at $33 for 12 ounces

1. Paradise Roasters. A local Minnesota company. Rated 94. Called Ethiopia Awassa Special which you can also order online at paradiseroasters.com. Also expensive at $17 for 12 ounces, but probably worth it.

   Johnson Brothers

2. Johnson Brother. Another Minnesota microroaster. They like Kenya Peaberry Nyeri-Tatu and El Salvador Pacamara Tierra Fertil Los Alpes Reserva. $12 for 12 ounces.
