Brew of the Day
Thanks again to David’s nephew, Nathan, for sending in a bag of Comayagua from Left Roasters. This one is delicioso! It has a nice balance, mild acidity, and seemed to roasted just a tad longer than the other varieties we’ve had from Left Roasters.
They’re a great brand to support, as they support suppliers and growers that are doing good things in their local regions. Great stuff!
