I know it is early but this is going to be a logistical challenge.....
So, Happy Christmas LSOL's December offering is going to be Drop Coffee, once featured here wayyyyy back in November 2017
I have mooted that this was going to happen and have spent a long time discussing what was possible with about 6 Euro roasters and trying to get an affordable price for us. I have ended up with Drop who have been really great to work with and flexible.
As mentioned, this is a unique bean. Drop told me "This is the first time this coffee is being processed" also "We are really excited about this coffee, but won't be releasing it for a little while." and "I doubt they have ever tried anything like this before" - This will be an OMNIROAST bean
They are going to roast this on the 9th December and send to me, I am then going to send it out to you lucky people.... However, the challenge I have is that I am out for a few days next week on a course and then going to New York on the 7th December (50th Birthday Present ?) and I land the morning of the 11th (when the beans should be coming to my house) I am then going to attempt to get these out based on DPD getting to me before 3pm as I have a 4 hour drive for an all day meeting next day so they will either get re-posted to you on the 11th or the 13th. This should be fine but I wanted you all to know the timescales, constraints and reason for the early thread as I can hear some of you now thinking "I have not even tried November's beans yet"
So, guest spots are £26.5 a pop (500g) due to the posting via DPD to me of the complete order and then the onwards posting cost, I will close the list Monday evening so I can get the list to Drop. Please, if you are going to take a spot I need you to keep an eye on PM's and pay @Daren promptly so we can confirm the order or we will have to bump you off the list.
So, post below if you want a slice of this Christmas cake.....
