The bad news is that it is -27 right now in Two Harbors The good news is that it’s going to get warmer. The even better news is that we are extending our cold weather deal through today (1/31), so ask for the Polar Vortex and we will discount you the real time temperature according to @weatherunderground on food and drinks (that’d be a 27% discount right now!). As always, stay warm, stay safe.

#btcseries 6: once the coffee cherries have been picked, the bean (seed) needs to be separated from the fruit. There are two main methods: 1. The washed process (pictured in the video), where the fruit is stripped from the bean, then the beans are soaked, washed and dried; or 2. the natural process, where the cherries are dried on the bean, then stripped off. As with every step of the process so far, the choice will effect the flavor in the final cup. Washed coffees often have clean and crisp flavors and aromas whereas natural coffees exhibit earthier and fruitier notes. Both can produce amazing coffees if done well. If you ever get a chance to drink a natural coffee, give it a try—you’ll definitely be able to taste the difference.

#btcseries 5: Almost all specialty coffee is picked by hand, which is one of the many reasons why it tastes better and is more expensive. The cheap, efficient, lower quality method would be to machine harvest, which shakes the tree and collects all the cherries that fall, but hand harvesting done by experienced pickers ensures only ripe cherries are picked and processed. Harvest season will differ from region to region, with some, such as Colombia, having a main crop followed by a less productive fly crop. This video is of Wilmer Muñoz picking on his family farm in Huila, Colombia.

#btcseries 4: The best coffees (almost all arabicas) grow at higher elevation and are therefore found along mountainsides like this one. They are generally bush-like in appearance, but can grow to 10-12 feet tall. Since the majority of coffee is hand-picked, tall trees are hard to harvest. At the Muñoz farm, trees are allowed to grow for 5 years and are then cut down. A new tree will grow from the existing roots—three cycles of 5 years are allowed before a new sapling is planted. This helps ensure robust production while maintaining a tree height conducive to hand picking.

#btcseries 3: There are over 100 species of coffee plants, but the two most popular for consumption are robusta and arabica. Robusta has a harsher taste to it, and is probably what your grandparents drank (and why you have horrible memories of coffee as a young child). Coffee cultivation has come a long way since then. Today, arabica varieties, whose flavors tend to be brighter and sweeter, make up for 60-70% of production. There are many varieties within arabica, including the one pictured above (yellow bourbon), which is bright yellow when ripe.

#btcseries #2: Coffee is the roasted seed of a cherry, which generally grow in pairs within a fruit classified as a “drupe”—think mango, pistachio, cherry, peach and other stone fruits. The coffee tree grows primarily in equatorial regions across the globe at elevations of 3,000-6,000ft.

Over the last few months, we offered a coffee education series called “Bean To Cup.” For those who wanted to make it but couldn’t, we are recreating it here over the next several weeks through pics and posts. #btcseries 1: Meet Gabriel Muñoz, who has been growing coffee for over 30 years. Many of the pics in this series are from his 13 hectare farm in La Palma, Colombia, where his family graciously hosted a group of us last February.

Unfortunately, technology has not created a way to capture smells along with pictures. We’re making chai this morning and the whole shop smells wonderful. It’ll linger for the next hour of two if you have the chance to stop in.
