Hello and welcome to edition two of the Has Bean newsletter. If
you missed
any of the earlier ones they can be found at www.hasbean.co.uk/news.htm
1. New Additions
Another busy month has meant that once again we have lots of new
additions
to the range, with some really exiting beans.
Guatemala Maragogype Black Bull (ref 210), Cost: £4.20 per
250g bag
Maragogype is hybrid of the coffee world. It is called the "elephant
bean"
for its larger size. It is thought that because the Maragogype produces
fewer cherries on the tree the taste becomes more concentrated,
and in this
case it is true. This coffee has a medium body and a bright fruity
acidity
that turns into a honeyed sweetness. Medium Roast

Kopi Luwak (ref 309), Cost: £32.00 per 250g bag
Kopi Luwak (ref 310), Cost: £17.00 per 125g bag
Kopi Luwak – Now there’s a story behind this one. There’s
a cat like monkey
creature called a Luwak that lives in the forest of the Sumatra
region. Now
the Luwak loves to eat berries and all sorts of other jungle stuff
which he
has no problems digesting. But his favourite food is the bright
red ripe
berry of the wild coffee plants that grow in his habitat. But the
coffee
cherry doesn’t agree with our friend the Luwak and gets pooped
out. It is
then hand picked by someone with the worst job in the world to bring
you the
most unusual tasting coffee in the world. It’s special, rare
and expensive
but you know you want to try it! Its earthy taste is unique and
it’s unusual
after taste will make you reach for the pot for a second cup. Medium
roast.
Due to the excessive cost we offer kopi Luwak in two sizes follow
the links
below.
Kopi Luwak 250g bags £32.00 www.hasbean.co.uk/offers/kl250.htm
Kopi Luwak 125g bags £17.00 www.hasbean.co.uk/offers/kl125.htm
Burma Myanmar Chaung Gwe plantation (ref 311), Cost: £8.99
per 250g bag
>From south East Asia This Burmese single origin coffee from
north east of
part of Myanmar is a little bit special. On the Chaung Gwe plantation
they
100% hand pick 100% hand screen and 100% hand wash. In the cup you
get a
dark chocolate taste with hints of clove and liquorice that’s
just divine.
Best at home in the French press or filter machine this is a special
treat.
Medium Roast

Kenya Kariru (ref 102), Cost: £4.15 per 250g bag
If you haven't tried Kenyan Coffee, why not? As a growing region
Kenyan’s
can be slightly acidic so tend to be best suited to the filter maker
or
cafetière. Its only here you can really delve into the silky
smooth
beverage, and experience the rich, winey flavours with blasts of
blackcurrant. This single origin Kariru is one of the best Kenyan
examples
we have ever tried. A must try for the budding gourmet coffee buff,
or just
someone who like good coffee. Medium Roast.

Costa Rica La Meseta Tarrazu (ref 206), Cost: £3.90 per 250g
bag
This Costa Rican shares many qualities with Kenyan it is both balanced
and
deep, and in our opinion best at home in the filter maker / cafetière.
Costa
Rican coffee is always good. But to be different it needs that wow
factor.
La Meseta Tarrazu has the typical high note, with its bright citrus
flavour.
But what makes it stand out is the exquisite chocolate and spice
that runs
through your mouth in the aftertaste. Medium Roast.

2. Stocks Running Low
This month we have waved goodbye to Ugandan Robusta, Kenya AA and
Costa Rica
San Marcos. The replacement for Kenya and Costa Rica are fantastic
and a big
improvement on beans that were already our favourites.
