As I'm desperately trying to catch up on all the delicious coffees I've drunk over the past few months, it's time again for another Dog and Hat Subscription Box post!
August Box
We had two gorgeous coffees in this box
Monsoon Estates Coffee Company - Nicaragua
Ineffable Coffee - Kenya
Starting with Monsoon Estates
Anne and Chris developed their love of good coffee whilst living in Europe and later Australia. They started roasting beans to sell at a friend's charity sale and they were so well received that they decided to make it a business. Then, after a period of fast growth, multiple awards, and trips to the US to attend coffee boot camps, it was time to scale up.
September 2012 saw the start of new things for them in the form of a new roastery. They leased a barn conversion on the Alscot Estate about 3 miles from Stratford Upon Avon.
In late 2013 they took delivery of a brand new Probat coffee roaster which was soon installed in the roastery to keep up with the high demand of coffee orders.
Monsoon Estates Coffee Company
Stratford Upon Avon
Nicaragua
Nicaraguan Matagalpa & Jinotega
Varietal - Maragogype*
Process - Washed
Altitude - 1200-1500MASL
Taste Notes - Chocolate and Nut, Sweet and Aromatic with Citrus Acidity
*Maragogype elephant beans are a mutation of Arabica Typica first discovered near the town of Maragogype in Brazil. These trees yield smaller amounts of these massive coffee beans which makes them quite rare and expensive. These days Maragogype beans are grown in several Central/South American countries but are still quite hard to come by.
V60 Brew
18g of Coffee
275ml of Water
(50g Bloom to 30 Seconds)
2 Minute 45 Second Total Brew Time
This was a really interesting cup, I got some really unique flavours out of the brew - mulled wine acidity being one, and spiced with chocolate undertones being another.
It was a super intriguing and delicious coffee to try. It was well rounded, with the perfect subtle acidity

Ineffable Coffee Roasters
Ineffable Coffee Roasters is a project that seeks to contribute to the community and help improve the appreciation of coffee in Andalusia and Spain more widely. For more than ten years the team has lived abroad in different countries and cities such as Cape Town, Istanbul or the UK, where speciality coffee culture is widespread.
The team have had long careers with experience working as baristas, roasters and trainers in established businesses. Now they've returned home with the desire to continue contributing and growing. They are Omar, Jose and Alejandro - each brings a different experience of coffee and have now joined forces to offer the best as a team.
The name Ineffable Coffee Roasters is inspired by a feeling, causing much emotion, especially pleasure that goes beyond words. It is something unique that breaks the norm.

Dark and fruity, with subtle citrus acidity, this coffee was super yum - full bodied, with light brown sugar undertones, it was a delicious coffee. Through an aeropress it was also super full bodied and delicious. This bag really didn't last me very long, a good week at most.

ReplyDeleteIf you've gotten this far, I assume it means you are ready to try bulletproof coffee. Allow me to explain how I make my own version, which I'll call Shanghai Bulletproof Coffee. "Shanghai" in the name is recognition of the fact that my less precise (and thus more Chinese) preparation strays from Asprey's strict approach, and it's how I make it here in Shanghai. Shanghai Bulletproof Coffee is about getting the desired performance boost from your coffee while expending the least amount of time and effort. If at the end of the day, our goal is to reduce decisions and distractions, then getting too caught up in the preparation of your coffee seems counterproductive. Coffee
