Thoughts:
Roast color was slightly lighter this year compared to last year. Process based coffees were highly preferred by roasters (only 6 washed!) Colombia was by far the favorite origin country, and those coffees were very nice. The coffee quality was very high. It's so fun to have so many excellent roasters in PDX! A HUGE thank you to Joe and team at PDX Coffee Club for organizing and producing this amazing calendar! (Sooo many tiny bags!!!)

The .coffee.club advent calendar has been so fun this year! We have so many great roasters in Portland.

More thoughts and analysis coming once all the coffees have been revealed!

The coffee level in New Zealand has been very impressive. Skilled baristas and nice equipment abound.

The coffees have been mostly washed blends, or single origin by region or country, and slightly more developed roasts than my baseline. But found a few farm level coffees at (had a nice chat here) and .
