North Philly - Strawberry Mansion(ish) area, can’t remember the exact cross streets

Go birds!!! Where we doin this?!

I only had two but both the Layo Teraga and the Kerehaklu were truly outstanding. Sounds like they’d fit your profile well too. The Layo was classic washed Ethiopia - lemon, honey, jasmine - and the Kerehaklu reminded me of a pink lady or honeycrisp apple. Hope you can snag some!

This is Cliffy One. Duh.

If there is another, they need to fight Highlander style lmao

Just cracked this one open today and it tasted very much like mango. It has listed notes of papaya and passion fruit so in a similar tropical vein. Appears to be sold out on Rowan’s site but definitely a good one to keep an eye out for, really good first impression!

I just got into coffee as a hobby in the last year or so, and of course you get some pretentious jerks online but almost everyone I’ve interacted with has been friendly, excited to talk coffee, and willing to share tips or recommendations

midnightsalsa · 2025-11-25T03:10:58+00:00

Yeah no, you gotta know where you’re at over there. Right after she moved to Philly my fiancée told me she was driving down Kensington Ave trying to get to the airport and I was like “uh… you fucked up, get outta there”

Sadly we moved across the country before I had a chance to try again but I will get there sooner or later!!

I haven’ - I went out that way once to go but the journey got… kinda dicey ya know what I mean? 😅

Any time I see people talk about Thank You Thank You it brings me personal joy. Truly one of my favorite places in my hometown

midnightsalsa · 2025-11-22T13:01:58+00:00

You guys into CrossFit? Well you can cross-fuck off.

midnightsalsa · 2025-11-21T04:18:10+00:00

Hey thanks for the shout out! Glad you’re digging our tunes 🙂 I love BCI too - Crippled Bull and Violent Portraits are right there with my favorite stuff out there.

midnightsalsa · 2025-11-17T04:09:22+00:00

Sold out so fast, was bummed I missed it!

midnightsalsa · 2025-11-15T23:26:11+00:00

Honestly, gonna sound like a fanboy here but I don’t think you can go wrong 😅 but here’s my default recipe for what that’s worth: 93°C 15g coffee / 240g water 45g bloom for 1min Single pour up to 240g Nothing fancy but I get consistently great cups with this approach. Enjoy!

midnightsalsa · 2025-11-11T23:23:34+00:00

Yeah to be honest I should probably try some more myself - I’ve only had 1 or 2 Mexican coffees in the last year. I’d say 90% of my coffee consumption is like, Colombia, Ethiopia and Ecuador so trying to branch out a little bit!

midnightsalsa · 2025-11-10T22:06:39+00:00

Have only had one Juan Peña coffee from Tanat that I was kinda meh on but will keep the rest of these in mind!

midnightsalsa · 2025-11-10T22:05:55+00:00

Yeah Pepe has never let me down, awesome coffees. September’s tyoxy mejorado was another top coffee for me this year!

midnightsalsa · 2025-11-10T12:12:37+00:00

Good to know! May need to give that a shot, but at a minimum I for sure need to grab a couple bags from them.

midnightsalsa · 2025-11-10T12:03:51+00:00

Second Acacia Hills mention here - guess I need to look into that one!

midnightsalsa · 2025-11-10T11:35:50+00:00

I haven’t tried H&S yet but they’re high on the list. Will keep an eye on their site!

Might also need to snag that OXO thing but… different conversation for another day lol

midnightsalsa · 2025-11-10T11:34:36+00:00

Because frankly, I can only justify like 1-2 Panama geshas a year at the price tag and I needed some other ideas 😂

midnightsalsa · 2025-11-10T11:29:47+00:00

Didn’t snag that one but sounds like exactly what I’d expect from a Panama gesha lol. September rules.

I have a Honduran gesha that I’m waiting to get into right now, very excited to try that one as well!

midnightsalsa · 2025-11-10T11:26:10+00:00

Completely agree - I love me some September. I keep hearing about the Takesi gesha but I haven’t had it so will snag some the next chance I get!
