@SecretaryLevine as a PA resident I just want to say that your intelligence and demeanor through this pandemic has been such a beacon of calm and reason. Thank you. And congratulations on the nomination! Well deserved!

Good idea @ryanpoet - thanks for the motivation to continue on with @cup. I'll try to make it into @BudinNYC This Sunday.

@Cup I'd like you to review a Swedish roaster. You could get a bag from @BudinNYC #koppicoffee or #dropcoffee

You're always in for a treat tasting a washed Ethiopian from @ghowellcoffee - and the Reko is certainly no exception!

[David Stallings @Cup]

Overall impression: Beautiful green well roasted. A refined, nuanced and well balanced cup - 88.6

[David Stallings @Cup]

Negative: Touch straw in aroma. While the quality of the body was very nice it was a bit lacking

[David Stallings @Cup]

Positive: Mandarin orange, floral - violet, browning sugars on the nose. Stone fruit, cocoa and raspberry, ceylon tea finish. Silky body.

[David Stallings @Cup]

As always, these cupping notes/scores are from a blind cupping. The coffee reviewed this week is @ghowellcoffee's Ethiopian - Reko.

We've all such short memories, don't we? Cold brew is vile. Remember?!

[David Stallings @Cup]

I am expecting some coffees from @ghowellcoffee and will post my notes from one (or some) of them next week!

[David Stallings @Cup]

This is a really stellar coffee. Any amazing demonstration of terroir and variety being distinct yet balanced in the cup. @coffeeshrub

[David Stallings @Cup]

Positive: Floral, white peach. Milk chocolate, honey, vanilla, butter, cardamom. Incredibly complex. Negative: none.

[David Stallings @Cup]

These notes are from a blind cupping. The coffee being reviewed is @coffeeshrub's Acatenango Gesha.

[David Stallings @Cup]

I plan to post reviews of coffees roasted by other roasters here. This first post, however, will be a review from a sample from @coffeeshrub

@stumptowncoffee that Todd Weiler is so dreamy.

If there is any coffee you would like to see thrown into this social media mess let me know and I'll try to make it happen.
