One of the reasons I went to the Brooklyn Flea recently was to get a hold of this bag of beans. Crop to Cup is a Brooklyn based broker and wholesaler of coffee beans. Their coffee shop is located at 541 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, and they sell their coffee through several retailers in Chicago and NYC.
I went to the Flea pretty late and was lucky enough to grab the last bag left. It was not stated what the origins of the beans used in the espresso blend were, but my guess is they use Uganda and/or Burundi coffee as these are the only countries mentioned in their website.
Now on to the espresso. The beans were medium roast, but some beans were much lighter in color than others. Whether this was intentional I do not know. The coffee is full-bodied but not bitter, and smooth with average acidity. It was something that could appeal to everyone, but on the flip side did not have a distinctive characteristic.
Brooklyn Flea was great fun with a wide variety of vendors, so why not check out Crop to Cup while you are there!
