So the first of the planned ‘Taste of….’ series starts with Norway in a couple of days. As we’re fully subscribed and people keep asking when the next one is and when their favourite country is coming up I thought I’d list the intended order now, and hope that the planets align to make it run smoothly. We have a fairly good idea of which roasters from which place we want to explore, but if you know of a hidden gem that we really should get in touch with, let us know in the comments and we’ll see what we can do.

We’ll try and do one each month and hope to run in this order:

August: Norway
September: New Zealand
October: West Coast US
November: Sweden
December: Australia
January: East Coast US
February: Denmark
March: Canada
April: Japan

We’ll post up some pictures and reviews of the event on Wednesday – the first couple of coffees are already here and we are looking at the bags and drooling!

I’ve awaiting the final confirmation from the five NZ roasters I want to feature, the list will be published soon!

Hey Champions,

If you need a pair of legs on the ground in Melbourne, give me a holler.

Best of luck!

Are you visiting SF on your West Coast US trip?

Sorry one is being very impatient! I hope you have included Tiger Mountain Coffee from the Far North of NZ…lovely blend!

Jason, we’ll definitely be getting some treats from SF for our west coast evening!

Luca and Christian, thanks for that, and Matt- TMC contacted!

You are more than welcome to stop by our warehouse when you are in SF. We always enjoy coffee visitors.

For the East Coast US roasters, you might want to check out:

They also sell a Sidamo Korate that pulls well as a single origin espresso, but their blend is excellent.
