My mom’s dentist, as it turns out, is a home roaster. He and my mom got to talking about her favourite (Canadian spelling) coffee: Harar Horse. He’d never heard of it. In fact, the poor fool hadn’t even heard of Sweet Maria’ s. To think this guy was probably buying his coffee from some shady Southeastern Michiganese roaster. . . errrg! Anyway, my mom gave him the URL, and Tom will probably be hearing from him soon. How could anyone be into home roasting and not know about Tom? The other sellers on-line just don’t seem as professional or quality oriented. They all must cup, but no one seems to give as good descriptions of their products. On a darker note, my Aunt just passed away yesterday, and my parents left for Costa Rica this morning. Unfortunately, I’ve only met her twice, so save your condolences for my father. Mom says she’ll keep an eye out for some green beans, as they’re planning a stay of about two weeks. . . one never knows. -JIm Morgantown, WV |
