Coffee Mayhem

The Drink: El Salvador Everest from Irving Farm Coffee Roasters
Type: Single Origin Whole Bean
Overall Rating: 4 out Of 5 Coffee Mugs

I grew up in the Mid Hudson Valley in Upsate New York, it wasn’t exactly a hub of third wave coffee activity. Of course after I move out of the area, coffee roasters start appearing in my old neck of the woods. Where were they when I needed a decent cup of coffee in college?

Anyways, back to the topic at hand. One of these coffee roasters, Irving Farm Coffee Roasters is based out of Millerton, a short drive from where I grew up in Poughkeepsie, NY. When their coffee showed up in my mailbox, it brought back some memories of colorful leafs in the fall, blizzards in the winter and some really bad coffee. I was looking forward to seeing if Irving Farm could make me forget about that not so awesome coffee that I had growing up.

The first bag that I opened up from Irving Coffee was their El Salvador Everest. They describe it as a coffee with a full creamy body with notes of milk chocolate and molasses; subtle notes of apricot balance the cup.

The first thing that my nose noticed was a creamy, chocolate aroma with a sweetness to it. As the coffee cooled down some, I picked up on a little bit of a fruit like aroma, probably apricot.

My taste buds were greeted with a milk chocolate taste. There were earthy hints and a bit of a vegetable flavor. Behind it all was an apricot flavor that reminded me a lot of a craft beer called Magic Hat #9, but that might be the influence from my other blog creeping in.

Irving Farm gets bonus points for not being afraid of putting the roasting date on the coffee and for using beans that are sourced sustainably.

A 12 oz bag of El Salvador Everest is $14 online or you can pick it up at one of their coffee shops in New York City or trek to Millerton and pick it up there.

Overall, El Salvador Everest earned a well above average rating of four coffee mugs. It was a lot better than the coffee that Mid Hudson Valley offered when I was growing up there.
