Mayorga Coffee Roasters is a Rockville, MD based coffee roaster. They offer variety of coffees from all the major regions. Like many other local roasters they focus on sourcing directly from the farmer and sustainable practices.
From the roaster: Medium body with hints of toasted almonds and a long-lasting, bold finish.
Method: French press
Several roasters (Counter Culture for example) deal directly with the Cinco de Junio co-op and I would be interested in trying their roasts against Mayorga's. I'll probably do a head-to-head Counter Culture vs. Mayorga post in the near future but for now on with the review!

Mayorga African Blend Review
Mayorga Coffee Roasters is a Rockville, MD based coffee roaster. They offer variety of coffees from all the major regions. Like many other local roasters they focus on sourcing directly from the farmer and sustainable practices.
From the roaster: Full body with hints of cocoa and a bold, stout finish.
Method: French press, I tried various extraction times but the results were pretty much the same across the board.

DC's Indie Coffee Shops Team Up for 'Disloyalty' Program
What an awesome idea to drum up some buzz for the local coffee scene! Sounds like my Saturday/Sunday morning just filled up.

Starbucks Kenya Review
Starbucks is a global coffee company and coffeehouse chain based in Seattle, Washington. (I know Starbucks isn't based in the DMV area but I got it at lunch today and wanted to post something.)
From the roaster: Bright with a juicy acidity, low wine notes and fruity flavors—ranging from black currant and blackberry to tart grapefruit—that become more pronounced as the coffee cools.
Method: Clover machine at my local Starbucks (I wish I had one of these at home!)
