Try our Serious Select limited edition coffees. This program offers exceptional and scarce coffees. Each week we offer prestigious coffees, each unique and in very limited supply. These coffees roast and ship same day, once per week. While these are typically more expensive coffees, they are also hard to find. Several recent coffee selections have sold out. Kenya AA Kangunu microlot and Panama Don Pachi Washed Geisha Both scarce with very limited availability. The Kangunu is a juicy example of a top Kenya coffee. The Panama Don Pachi Geisha was produced in such a small quantity as to be rare. A dry process version of this same coffee took first place last year in competition and sold at auction for more tha $100 pound. Read more...

Just in - Our Burundi Kiryama Washing Station gets 92 points in Coffee Review's May issue.

Coffee suggestions:
--Costa Rica Leo Rojas microlot - Grown on a steep plot of land, high in Costa Rica's West Valley, this farm produces sweet Caturra varietal which is then processed at one of the premier micromills in the country, Helsar de Zarcero, just a short distance from the farm. This coffee has been stored in Grainpro bags since arrival to keep flavor at its peak until we roast it.
--Panama La Milagrosa Hector Vargas - Another favorite at Willoughby's and it is also a direct trade coffee. Our friend Hector Vargas seems to produce better coffee each year. This grower, almost unknown a half dozen years ago, provides solid coffees each year that find their way into the top ten of coffee competitions. We have had Hector's coffee each of the past several years. It arrives in Grainpro bags so it remains vibrant until we roast.
--India A Elkhill Estate - We have been trying to acquire India Elkhill for the past few years and finally have it back again, after persistent attempts with the Estate; all has gone to Europe in recent years. In 2007 Coffee Review gave us 95 points, one of the highest reviews at that time. This coffee had developed a large following among our customers and glad to say we have it once again for your enjoyment.
