Throwing Star            

45% Costa Rican, Colombian, Ethiopian, 

nearly half of this coffee is what is known as black honey process coffee, where by the mucilage is allowed to remain on the beans until it flakes off, acting as a sunscreen during the drying process it protects the green beans from drying out. The result is a seriously deep cup character, a super oily mouthfeel and an aftertaste that screams for a 2nd cup, the baseline is from two of the biggest contenders for the mega cup, Ethiopian and Columbian, just a little white pepper from the Guatemalan and you have cup bliss.
