November’s Atlas Coffee Club comes from Tanzania. These beans help cement how good the coffee comes from Africa.

Opening the bag, I’m greeted with a subtle fruity chocolaty aroma. Making my latte, I taste this smooth choclate flavor with some floral notes. It’s also very light and mellow leading me to make a 2nd cup sometimes.

October’s Trade Coffee comes Oren’s Coffee. I received a single origin bag from Colombia’s Tolima region. Reading the website,

Opening the bag, I’m a little underwhelmed at the lack of aroma compared to the last two bags of coffee. After making my latte though, I am amazed at how fruity and sweet flavors are present with each sip. These flavors become subdued as it rolls down the tongue. What I find pretty amazing is that each sip doesn’t end with a milk chocolate after taste like most coffees I’ve had. The subtle fruit flavor lingers all throughout the tongue giving this a unique flavor to end with… one not so chocolately yet also fruity and sweet.

October’s Atlas Coffee Club comes from Papua New Guinea. It’s rare to receive something in the South Eat Asia region. Similar to the last Atlas Coffee Club coming from India, this one will also be a treat. The paperwork/artwork isn’t as amazing as the tigers though.

Opening the bag, I’m greeted with a fruity, chocoloty aroma. Making my latte, I get this smooth, creamy, vanilla, chocolate flavor. Someitmes the 1st latte just goes down really quick requiring me to make a 2nd one.

September’s Trade Coffee comes from Broadcast Coffee Roaster. September?! Yes… In the past few months, I’ve been gifted by Kauai coffee, and 3 bags of Taiwan Alishan coffee. I paused both subscriptions in order to go finish these gifted coffee.

Broadcast Coffee sent this bag of beans from Columbia. According to the websites, the beans come from small farmers from the Cauca region. Drinking my latte, I taste a sweet, creamy milk chocolate flavor with fruity after taste. If you browse the website more, this roaster breaks down the cost of sourcing, roasting and shipping the beans. Pretty interesting to review the cost breakdown.

August’s Drink Trade comes from Maquina Coffee Roasters. The beans come from Guatemala’s Finca Santa Rita which I assume is a single farm or a group of farms around the same region.

Making my latte, I taste fruit, berry and milk chocolate flavors and quite a lot of sweetness as well. The aftertaste has a pleasant coffee and dark chocolate flavors that lingers for a good 5-10 seconds. The aftertaste last just enough to want a 2nd sip. It’s super smooth to drink and definitely a bit of a change from the Atlas Coffee Club offering from earlier this month.

July’s Atlas Coffee Club comes from India. Yup…. Even parts of India are within the coffee belt. It’s rare to get beans that aren’t from the traditional coffee regions. So this will be a treat. The bag artwork of tigers is pretty amazing.

Opening the bag, I’m greeted immediately with a this ashen aroma reminscent of how Kona Coffee would smell like. Unfortunately, I do taste this “ashiness” upon first sip of my latte. But mixed amongst the ashy flavor, my latte also reveals a pleasant chocolate and berry flavor.

June’s Trade Coffee comes from Drink Coffee, Do Stuff Coffee Roasters. The beans comes from La Paz, Honduras. Initially the beans have a very strong sweet, fruity and “fermenty” aroma.

Making my latte, I can taste some of the “fermenty” aromas and it reminds me sort of like yogurt/berry flavor. I very much enjoyed this flavor. After this initial berry flavor profile, I also noticed this caramel sweetness that really blended in with the initial berry flavor.

It’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed coffee like this.

This is May’s Atlas Coffee Club. I’ve been busy with quite a few personal activities that’s taken my time. I remember these beans to be very delicious when I make my latte.

In April, I mentioned that I cancelled my Angels Cup subscription and substituted the 2nd coffee subscription with Atlas Coffee Club (referral link). It will take some time to get both subscriptions in sync agan by 2 weeks. Nonetheless, this was April’s coffee. It also came with tasting notes and a postcard as well.

I really enjoyed these beans from Uganda. I don’t think I’ve had any beans from Uganda before. Not as flowery and more subdued fruit flavars compared to Ethiopian beans. I look forward to seeing what else Atlas Coffee Club will offer.

This is the last Angels Cup coffee I’m going to get. Two reasons…
1) I didn’t realize just how much more I was paying on a monthly basis between Trade Coffee and Angels Cup. A difference of $7 per bag per month will add up over the course of a year.
2) I still love the idea of trying different beans from different roasters but lately I feel like the beans from Angels Cup hasn’t been as impressive as Trade’s coffee. So I opted to try a different subscription that only roasts their single origin sourced beans. The next coffe post will be from this subscription.
