Hello and welcome to volume three edition One of the Has Bean newsletter. If you missed any of the earlier newsletters they can be found at www.hasbean.co.uk/news.htm

1. New Additions

We have managed again to find more fantastic beans, a Costa Rican that s magnificent, a relationship Columbian with a difference and a Brazilian that s works really well in espresso. We have some new equipment that s at a great price and a selection pack with Christmas in mind.

Columbian Relationship Supremo Singlo XXI(ref 216), Cost: £3.20 per 250g bag

This is another of our fine relationship coffee s that assures you the customer that it has been fairly traded and a good price paid for a quality coffee. It comes from a cooperative in Columbia with a difference. This Coop is run by 50 women who produce some of the finest coffee s I have tasted from Columbia. Its mild delicate chocolate overtones combined with its very balanced body, and bright flavoursome after taste makes it a great cup. Medium Roast

Costa Rica Dota Tarrazu(ref 217), Cost: £2.95 per 250g bag

Dota is a small region of the Tarrazu valley, in Costa Rica .With many similar characteristics to standard Tarrazu coffee s it s always going to be good. But Dota s unique soils and farming skills make it even better. In the cup you will find lots of Fruit (particularly berry) tastes followed by the creaminess expected from Costa Rican coffee. The caramel after taste is divine with a really clean and smooth taste. This is a truly special and heavenly cup that you must try.

Brazil "Washed" Fazenda da Lagoa(ref 218), Cost: £2.95 per 250g bag

Another Brazilian ! Well there s an awful lot of coffee in Brazil. Unfortunately a lot of it is not very good. But this is another gem that must be tried. From the Fazenda da Lagoa coffee plantation is situated in the north-eastern part of the famous coffee growing region of Minas Gerais, only a few hundred kilometres away from São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, at an altitude of around 1,100 meters above sea level. This slightly nutty, low acidity, medium body, earthy cup is a nice drink in the filter/French press but where it really excels is as espresso! Here it comes alive, also great in a blend

2. Stock Running Low

We have had to say goodbye to the Guatemalan El Injerto, Costa Rican Bandola. The decaffeinated Columbian stocks are running low, but we hope to have a new decaf very soon, that surprised us how good it is.

3. While we Browsed

Yours truly is world famous now. An article that was originally published on www.toomuchcoffee.com has made it to a web site state side. Why not take a look at this very informative site (with great taste) at http://www.ineedcoffee.com/04/blending/

Whilst browsing around the web I found this great article on tamping from our friends at the coffee house magazine. Well worth a look http://www.coffee-house.org.uk/tampers.html

So that s it for another month, again thanks for your continued support. Please let us know if you have any ideas on how we could improve things or even on what we do well. It s always good to hear from you the customer.
