Beans: Nepspresso and Guatemala Huehuetenango A little while back, Dan from Neptune Coffee in Seattle got in touch about sending a couple of a samples my way. The cafe has recently started roasting its own and he wanted to get my take.

Recently, I’ve found the two best decafs I’ve [...] I find it a little surprising sometimes that prominent, high quality (OK, let’s just say it – “third wave”) cafe/roasters have opened as few shops as they have.
