Let me just start by saying what a blessing it is to be a part of this community. Many of us don't have the opportunity to do apprenticeships and/or have the opportunities to work with professional roasters.I've learned so much from the discussion here and the wealth of information archived on this site. It's truly a goldmine for a beginner and the more advanced.We were extremely excited about a particular coffee, but as Tom mentioned it sold out in a weeks time.So, that opened the door for us to roast and learn something more in my wheelhouse. (my favorites are Africans.. Especially Ethiopians and Kenyans)My hope is that we can continue to experiment and go against our roasting defaults. I still have a lot to learn and I look forward to the discussion in June!!!
