Now, hear me out - I know I promised this blogpost as a YouTube video, however, a lot has happened in the last month and even though it was filmed, when I transferred the files, they corrupted (yes, you are correct I cried a lot about it)
So instead of putting myself through the hell that was filming it again (it was going to be an hour long!!) I'm going to split it into 3 separate blog posts on here, then it gives you the option to look at the overview image and read about the coffees you want to know if I enjoyed rather than trawling through one huge blog post (and don't worry, YouTube is coming!!)
So onto, Every Coffee Bag I've Emptied In 2019 - Part 1.
(*part 2 and 3 linked at the bottom of the post)
2019 was filled with some INCREDIBLE coffees, I feel I found my mojo for the direction of The Coffee Life, which is great.
We'll start from the top of the picture and work our way down - I must also say that there is one company that isn't pictured because I turned their tins into new little plant pots for my houseplants, however shout out to Good Beans over in Amsterdam for creating some absolutely incredible coffee (and I hope to put up a blog post about them soon!)
Untold Coffee
I've raved about Untold a lot in 2019, and it's incredible to see the growth they've had, and everything they're doing environmentally for coffee
In part 2, they will be a heavy feature from their subscription service they used to have.
Pictured above
1. Danilo Barbosa - Minas Gerais, Brazil (there are actually 2 tins of this scrummy one, but one of them is currently a home for one of my plants)
2. Jeremy Abadi - Valle del Cauca, Colombia - Washed and Extended Fermentation
3. Jeremy Abadi - Valle del Cauca, Colombia - Washed
Craft House Coffee - Colombia, El Muro
Fried Hats x Oatly - I picked this cool looking coffee up from Amsterdam Coffee Festival last year, it was super delicious through espresso
Bad Hand - Rwanda
I love, love, love Bad Hand, they're super local to me as well which is a huge bonus!
Hasbean
1. Alauela, Western Valley - Costa Rica
2. Muranga - Kenya
Now, every time I get a bag of Hasbean coffee, I always drink it too fast to ever do a blogpost about them, 2020 goal is to actually blog about them, because they're bloody fantastic.
Roundhill - Uraga Saii, Ethiopia
Bailies - La Ortiga, Costa Rica
Nearly a year later I'm still shocked I managed to get 1 of the 10 bags released of this coffee, it was INCREDIBLE.
Taylor Street - Ethiopia Hambela
This was absolutely incredible, especially through cold brew
Red Roaster Coffee - Kinini Washing Station, Rwanda
The Roasting Party - Costa Rica Jaguar Honey
My absolute favourite from The Roasting Party!

Blue Bottle Coffee - Women of Kinyovu Station, Burundi
I never did a blog post on this one, and I cant quite remember why, it was absolutely delicious and I cant wait to try more from Blue Bottle!
The Girl in the Cafe - The Roastery Department - Guatemala
Boy, I'd heard good things about TGITC coffee, but this was amazing! It was featured in the Women of coffee One Click Box
