Ah, so we have a new natural ethiopia replacing the Guji, it's Sesota from Yirgacheffe and it's amazing, creamy milk choc with strawberry finish, but it's quite a bit more expensive than the Guji, about £8.50 I think. Those upstairs didn't want to offer it as a direct replacement because of the price hike, which I don't really agree with, but the closest in character at a similar price is the El Salvador Finca San Ernesto honey process. It has a soft ripeness but is slightly more tart and lighter in body than the Guji, being a semi-washed central american. If you want natural ethiopia with all its body and ripeness then the El Salvador doesn't really compare. It's a lovely coffee in its own right but natural ethiopias can't really be substituted if that's the profile you want.

Cracking on with the shop. New partition to allow 2 doors between serving area and WC built, just need to skim that and fit skirting and architrave. Flooring and work surfaces upstairs done, flooring downstairs fitted and frames built for counters. Roaster moved in, which feels great, plus coffees chosen, designs for packaging and cups done and visualisation for shop front sorted; signwriting starts next week. Manager hired too. Just equipment suppliers and packaging manufacturers giving me sleepless nights, plus the prospect of nobody walking through the doors.
