S.O.S. C.O.E.

Posted in Uncategorized on November 29, 2007 by chrisbaca

Today at Ritual we’re rolling out a single origin spro for the first time! We fired up Robert the Robot Robur this morning and will be offering our Guatemala San Jose el Yalu, COE #3 to the tune of four bucks a double. This coffee is bad to the fucking bone as a single origin shot. The best way for me to describe it is a sour apple candy, with a bit of deep berries, all wrapped in a big milk chocolate blanket. That’s how it’s been so far on the floor this morning…in the lab some days we’ll get a bit of pineapple and grape kool-aid steez goin’ on. Bright, clean, and complex; not for the faint (read: boring) at heart. Lovin’ it. I’ve been trying to push a singe origin offering for as long as I can remember and it’s one of those things that everyone wanted to do but just never got put into action, so after much anticipation we have our S.O.S.

I couldn’t be happier with the coffee we chose to do this with, I suppose it’s all been worth the wait. Peace!

I just have to share this pic with everyone…Latte art BYOV smackdown at Stumptowns new beautiful roastery in Seattle.  We had a ridicuoluus time and of course, I took my pants off.  Jock strap lattes for everyone!  Triple rosseta in a jockstrap, roseta in a pigs leg, late bong, Clover ($12,000 latte)?!  Fuck yeah!  I stole this photo from Rita’s flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/20597074@N04/ hope you don’t mid Kaminsky).  Stoked.  Congrats To Bill Will and Kevin Fuller from the press for their two-peat and Maki for her second place finish.  Everyone rocked and well…thats it.  Gotta open in the morning so I guess some sleep is in order.  Peace!
