We are currently in our cupping season & getting close to releasing our new line-up of coffees. This is always an exciting period for us. I’ve personally cupped around 25 coffees so far with more coming in shortly. What’s unique about this cupping cycle is the number of Fair Trade Organic coffees that really jumped off the cupping table.
As many of you know, we are Mississippi’s only Fair Trade Certified Roaster & work to source high quality Fair Trade Coffees when they are available. Quality is key. Regardless of certification, if the coffee doesn’t score well, we do not buy it.Typically I get 1-2 lots of FTO coffees that actually get through the initial cupping phase for a 2nd consideration. This year I was delighted to see 5+ coffees scored exceptionally well. This was a huge improvement compared to last year. I haven’t made a final selection on these coffees but wanted to share our current findings. Regardless, 2012 is a great year for Fair Trade Coffees in our opinion. Be blessed.
