Just got the package yesterday. Unfortunately I had to buy some beans to tide me over until this package arrived. Combine that with my regular shipment from Gevalia coming and I went from no beans in the cupboard to a back log. Hopefully I'll give them a whirl next week. If you're interested, here is the blurb email they sent out prior to shipping this month's beans:
Since you are all likely very familiar with the greatness of
Black House Blend, I’ll get right to the good part: this month’s subscriber-only
Bourbon Barrel-Aged Rwanda Nyamagabe. I find that this coffee is perfect for the changing of the season as it combines both the bright summery characteristics of lemon and dark fruit, and a few autumnal flavors like spice and almond. And, of course, add some barrel oakiness to the mix and you’ve got it made. Pre-barrel, this coffee was loaded with raisin and brown sugar-like flavors, and finished strong with a syrupy mouthfeel and lemony finish. But where this coffee really shines is after just a couple of months in an Evan Williams barrel, when those raisin and brown sugar-like flavors transform into almond, graham cracker and even more pronounced dried dark fruit. As the coffee cools down, more of that beautiful lemon really starts to shine through and keeps it real with a nice syrupy-sweet mouthfeel and lovely oak finish. It’s a real winner if I do say so myself.
