Descriptions of Some of the Coffees Available From Z-Best Coffee


Colombian - Colombia produces washed coffees, (processed by a method that allows daily pickings of ripe beans to be water processed, the hulls "fermenting" for 24 - 48 hours before the beans are washed clean.) Supremo is the grade of the largest, highest quality beans, mild, heady aroma, rich flavor, almost buttery body, a good balance between good acidity, mellow body, and excellent flavor.

Organic Bolivian - virtually unnoticed until recently, Organic Bolivian is becoming increasingly popular due to its extremely clean, yet mild, well balanced flavor. If you enjoy Organic Guatemalan, you will love this coffee.

Ethiopian Sidamo - primarily harvested from wild trees from high plateaus - 5,000 - 6,000 feet, exotic, acidic, racy, tangy flavor, thick-bodied.

Guatemala - superbly aromatic, lively, acidy, yet soft and mild in flavor, very heavy bodied, perfectly balanced, what most people would find in an ideal cup of coffee. Antigua refers to a district historically known for producing finer flavor.

Indonesian Kalossi Celebes - usually natural coffee (sun dried on the tree before picking, then hulled dry), low acid, uniquely heavy-bodied, concentrated exotic flavor, attractive muted tone and texture, unmatched aromatic spiciness, originally planted by the Dutch in late 1600s, grown at high elevations, small quantities imported.

Zimbabwe Peaberry - the highest grade of Zimbabwe coffee, complex in body, yet milder than Ethiopian, well-balanced, with chocolate overtones.

Z-Blend - subtle and unique flavors can be achieved in a blend that can never be attained in a single variety. One taste of this specialty blend is worth a thousand words.
