It’s been awhile since biscotti has done a post, and we’re sorry for that.  We were busy taking one of ROASTe’s new “Barista Tours.”  Except, erm, no we really weren’t; those are five coffees grouped together by ROASTe experts according a theme and offered as an auto-ship coffee subscription, and *not* actually physical tours, like you’d book through a travel agent.

This week, biscotti talked to Jim Cannell, owner of Jim’s Organic Coffee.  Based in West Wareham, MA, Jim’s is a wholesale roasting company, founded in 1996.

Without question, going into this week’s “roasterpost,” biscotti was on a roll.  Two roaster interviews down – one via email, the other via phone interview, thirty-three thirty-five (two more added this week!) to go.  So, we connected w/ Gary Strawn, the owner of family owned & operated Kona Earth coffee farm and agreed to speak.

I am ecstatic right now as I type this.  The reason is that I just cheated.  Not sure why, but I just typed into Google, “How does Kenyan coffee taste?”  You see, I had picked up 100 grams of single-origin Kenyan coffee this week and cupped it yesterday.  I loved the stuff !   In fact, of the five coffees I’ve reviewed for biscotti, I enjoyed it more than all of the others, except maybe for the single-origin Colombian I tried the first week.  Ac

OK.  Biscotti’s first post was well received.  Blessing/curse.  Now what should I write about this week?

You mean I get to blog about coffee?  For real?  Where's the cameras - c'mon, who put you up to this?

Oh, OK.  You were serious.  Let's begin.
