What's your favorite bizarre/unusual coffee term?
I've had the word "Bucaramanga" stuck in my head for a week now. What's stuck in yours?

One of my all time favorites is India Mysore Nuggets Extra Bold. Currently have an Organic Sumatra Mandheling Rimbun Putra that makes me chuckle too.

I like the word Pergamino, it refers to green cofee beans that have not been milled and still retain their outer covering of parchment like skin. They are also referred to as "Parchment" coffee!
Another bit of coffee terminology I like is the term "Sultan" coffee, it refers to green coffee beans that still retain some of the coffee cherry attached to the seed. The coffee cherry provides some natural sweetness. I believe that this type of coffee is only pan roasted in a few arab countires. I do not think it can make it through a standard roasting machine.
My favorite use of coffee terminology happens to be the oldest coffee blend name known to mankind, Mocha-Java 8-)

I'm not sure if you're looking for different importers/ roasters, but I know that Cafe Imports has a great deal of information on most all coffee they carry. I'm not sure if they offer there coffee roasted already or if its all green.
I'll have to look into this Big Train Chai...I actually placed an order for a couple different kinds from Third Street Chai in Colorado so i'll have to let you know how they are! I should be getting them today or tomorrow.
IMHO a machine featuring saturated groups is ultimately what you should be shooting for. Though I wouldn't put up a humongous investment on one initially because there are a LOT of indie-type start up coffee shops coming up right now and the probabi…

I would expect the market there would be good. A lot of the oil expats I know here in Indonesia have come via the oil business in Nigeria- along with manufacturers such as Cussons, Glaxo etc. I do understanf though that doing business in Nigeria is…
That is truly amazing. You will be blessed for your efforts!
Intelligentsia has so little information on offer about their Sidama right now because it's this years crop and the Ethipian Commodity Exchange has really been wreaking havoc with all of the work a lot of quality oriented roasters have put into trac…
