Happy 2002.

Happy 2002.
I feel almost obligated to post some kind of year in review message. I’ll get over it. All in all, 2001 wasn’t a banner year, though in many ways it was important. I am, myself, far more interested in looking forward….

• New Crop Papua New Guinea and Timor coffees should be reaching our shores any moment… they’re reputed to be exceptional this year.
• New crop Yemen and Kenya coffees are already getting seriously good reviews, though it’ll be a number of weeks before they’re generally available.
• The new coffees from St. Helena are in! You can even order directly from the source, unlike last year’s little shipping fiasco.
• Smith Farms will have a brand new crop of Kona peaberry in the next week or three!

All in all, it’s bound to be a good year. Here’s wishing you and yours the very best.
