This coffee is truly something special. Cultivated in small gardens by the indigenous Opais peoples of the Wahgi Valley, this Indonesian style coffee has a muted fruitiness contrasted with a tangy smoothness. This variety can often be compared to certain sweet and piquant Central American coffes because it is wet processed, unlike most of its wet processed peers from the Pacific Rim region. The Wahgi Valley is also home to kangoroos, wooly rat, and the green python, providing Kimel's beans with some mostly friendly neighbors.

This coffee comes from a region at the Southern end of the Andes Mountains.

Known as colonials, these farmers in 1991 reacquired land taken from them by large wealthy landowners in the 1950’s.

This classic Indonesian island coffee is known for being full-bodied. Java Jampit estate is a clean cup for an Indonesian, a fully wet-processed coffee that has the Indonesian body and thickness in the cup without the earthiness. This is a gentle and full bodied coffee, with a surprisingly sweet and clean finish

August 25th - August 31st:

This is the first time Old City Coffee has carried Uganda Bugisu. It is certified both organic and fair trade and grown in the Mount Elgon region near Lake Victoria. The large “presence” of so many earthy flavors; a malty complexity and a luscious syrupy body especially impress us. There is an almost “bucolic” thick sweetness in the aroma, which carries over into the flavor. The body is somewhat heavy, but the overall effect is still invigorating. This is not a brew, that on first taste, you put aside because it is too intense.

September 1st - September 7th:

This particular organic coffee from the Chiapas region of Mexico is making its second appearance at Old City Coffee. In the cup, this coffee’s taste is mild and pleasing, with a flavor that is delicately floral. It features a gentle acidity, light body, a sweet, woody aroma, and a hint of chocolate and citrus. Smooth finisher.
