VCC is very excited to announce the new roaster we have been talking about so much is now up and running! Paul Maxwell (left) from US roasters came by the roastery on Monday and trained Erin, Melissa (bottom), and John on the new machine.

In fact, if you come and do a tour of the new roaster this week you will recieve a FREE 2oz. sample pack of your choice that was probably roasted from that exact roaster.

Coffee Vocab: AROMA


While tasting coffee one of the descriptor words is Aroma. But what exactly is aroma??

The bouquet of coffee plays a large part in perception of flavor; the olfactory nerve registers "dry aroma" through the nose and "wet aroma" through the back of the mouth as you taste.

For example if you were to drink Vienna Coffee Company's Ethiopian Longberry Harrar Horse you might be surprised by the aroma. It smells like you've just cut open a blueberry muffin with fruity, wine-like notes. Also, La Armonia Hermosa has light floral aroma, sweet chocolate, medium body and notes of spice in the finish.

This picture is from a tasting in Guatemala of our La Armonia Hermosa Coffee. If you will notice the man the on the left is smelling the coffee before he drinks it to get the full aroma "dry aroma" of the coffee.
