I have just received a notification to the effect that the coffee that hadn't been delivered yesterday (the coffee that they failed to include in the order) has been roasted, and packaged, and is awaiting collection by the courier.
Excellent.
I hope that you receive your coffee (and get to enjoy it) soon.
Wonderful; delighted to learn that you have taken delivery of it.It's been delivered already, which is a bit amazing since the mail doesn't usually arrive this early.
This coffee is from Brazil and the label suggest notes of milk chocolate and walnut....it's just finished brewing so I'm about to give it a first sip.
Has anyone ever tried coffee from Thailand?
And, if so, what was it like?
Hm.I believe that mostly it's called Nescafe...
Only in Thailand itself.Has anyone ever tried coffee from Thailand?

Do enjoy, and let us know whether the tasting notes - and the actual taste - are in accord.
Only in Thailand itself.
It's mainly Robusta (or instant, as Dave says above) stirred in with condensed milk and loads of ice. I've not tried Arabica from Thailand, which I assume is what you're after. I guess if it's grown in the northern regions (higher, less pollution) it could be nice.
Ah.From what I've read, the Thai government has encouraged planting of Arabica as a replacement crop for various plants that are part of the illegal drug trade.
Thank you.Only in Thailand itself.

As far as I can understand, (and I had to look this up), it is some new (fangled) method of fermentation whereby the coffee is deprived of oxygen during the fermentation process.Hmm sounds good, but what is "anaerobic natural" in reference to coffee?
The coffee that should have been delivered last week, with last week's order, has just been delivered, (an anaerobic natural coffee from El Salvador, SL28 varietal, and what they describe as a "competition lot").
This means that I am more than amply well stocked, coffee wise, at the moment.
Now, time for a cup of coffee.....
Agreed, the name (SL28) is anything but exotic, but hails (originally) from Kenya.SL28.....not exactly an exotic name, but it makes an excellent coffee cup of coffee.
Wondering how the name came about, I turned to the internet where I learned that the name comes from the designation of an individual tree (tree number 28) in a research program back in the 1930s at the Scott Agricultural Laboratories located in Kenya.

Peace forever, friend.
Take a look at the thread started by @SandboxGeneral on 31st January of this year, 2024, in the Community Discussion Section, entitled "Passing of MacRumors Member Shrink".Sorry I’m confused here.
I checked Shrinks profile, not posted since 5/1/2019, is there a backstory to your post? Hopefully he’s still with us, just not on MacRumors.

As you will see from the early pages of this very thread, (all of a decade ago), Shrink was a very active (and informed, and interested, and, above all, enthusiastic) participant in the thread.Ahh, understand now.
Agreed.People touch others in so many ways, big and small, cherish them.
I hear you.My mom passed Jan-4-2021, oldest sister October-26-2021, then my father October-25-2023. The pain is still very raw on my father.
Again, I hear you.Typing this causes pause and reflection.

When in Kenya, I actually managed to arrange visits to both coffee (and tea) plantations, which were amazing experiences.
Anyway, while I am familiar with how SL28 coffee from Kenya, I am curious to see how it responds to the terroir and conditions of being cultivated in a 'competition lot' in El Salvador.
