@StevePeel, are beans available mail order? Would like to try some new beans but no way I'll be in Northampton any time soon...

Hi Andy
I have no plans to sell coffee from Yellow Bourbon online or mail order but I will be continuing to source and roast for http://www.theroastery.co.uk that you can buy online. :)

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.
