Morning Coffee, with Woody

One of our core values here at One Village Coffee is the value of seeking to improve our product quality and how we can better serve you, the customer, by continuing to learn. With that goal in mind, this past weekend Scott and I went to the Northeast Region Roasters Retreat Weekend. The goal of the weekend was to get to know the other roasters and shop owners in our region, and to increase our knowledge of all things dealing with roasting and our business. We had some really great instructors and some amazing hands on learning time. It was great to spend a weekend with some other people as geeked up as we are about bringing the freshest, most amazing coffee to our customers. It was also a time to help us keep our focus on the coffee, and to strive to always bring you the best coffee possible.

In the end, the weekend was a reminder to us of why we started One Village Coffee: To never stop striving to bring you the best possible coffee to never stop trying to help make a difference one village at a time.

Featured Coffee

El Salvador Cup of Excellence (1lb) / $13.50

Cup of Excellence is a program that works to bring together the best coffee to the consumer while bringing profit to the growers. This years #1 coffee went for over $20 a pound, and that’s before roasting! What happens is the growers select the best field or crop of coffee and bring it to the auction cupping in the Host country. This year’s cup of excellence auction was for El Salvador. We were able to sample 24 lots of amazing coffees and picked out what we perceived to be the best lot so that we could bring this exceptional coffee to you. It is amazingly fruity in the cup with bright lemony flavors, but also a subtle mango flavor as well.  It was very rich and very smooth, with a bit of a roasted almond flavor.  You won’t want to miss this, as it is a limited offering.  When it is gone, it is gone.  Enjoy!
