Inugami Coffee

Xbloom Part 1 review (3 months in) @xbloom_coffee #xbloom

New Coffee Drop! Mexico Mauricio Giron Varietals: Bourbon, Tipica, Caturra, Costa Rica, Marsella Process Method: Honey Taste Like: Blackberry, Watermelon, Cherry, Plum, Apricot This is the first Mauricio Giron coffee I’ve carried, and it won’t be the last. Coffees like this are the reason I love being a roaster. It’s complex and slightly funky in the best way, with so much rich blackberry juice character. In some ways, it reminds me of a funky Ethiopian coffee I loved back in 2018. This coffee is special, and it’s exactly why it fits Inugami so perfectly. Thanks to @naked.dog.cafe

New coffees for Drop 16! All three Dino Espressos have also been restocked! Zambia Kateshi Coffee Estates Anaerobic Natural Catimor Taste like: Red fruit Compote, Berry, Slight Winey Funk) This is an outstanding coffee. I had to try it and then offer it because it fits Inugami perfectly. I’m not sure what I could compare it to, it has a rich body with these awesome stewed fruit notes. It’s slightly acidic, but in a smooth, rounded way. A very unique coffee. Colombia Evelio Audias Lasso Bolaños Extended Fermentation Washed Chiroso Taste like: Blood Orange, Guava Paste, Tropical Fruits, Grape Complex and sweet, this washed Chriso is almost effervescent in its body. Perfect example of a wonderful washed Colombian coffee.

This Spinosaurus espresso really made my weekend. I found myself reflecting on my coffee journey while enjoying multiple shots of Spinosaurus. When I first started studying espresso, one that stood out among the dozens and dozens I tried was Square Mile Coffee Roasters’ “Sweetshop” blend. Back then, I had never experienced an espresso like that before. Several coffees I’d tried had promised candy-like and fruit-forward notes but just didn’t deliver. “Sweetshop” did and it set me on a path of wanting to learn as much as I could about espresso, especially fruity, complex profiles. The Dino Series espresso gives me that same feeling. While it wasn’t directly inspired by “Sweetshop,” it was influenced by an equally important espresso in my journey: CORO Coffee Roasters’ 10th Anniversary blend. A beautiful mélange roast, it’s still some of the best espresso I’ve ever had. CORO created something both complex and approachable an espresso that really stuck with me. Someday soon, I may work on a new espresso that pays tribute to “Sweetshop.” @squaremilecoffee @corocoffee

New Dino drop! Spinosaurus - Espresso Taste like: Caramelized Banana, Tropical Fruits, Stewed Strawberries, Roasted Strawberries This wild dino is half Russell Strawnanna co-ferment and half Black Condor Limited Edition. This coffee is wild! If you love fruity espresso you will love this coffee!

Coffee Drop From Friday! El Salvador Roberto Ulloa Red Bourbon Natural Taste like: Stone Fruits, Berries, Black Current, Sweet Juicy I’ve had several amazing washed coffees so far this year that have elevated how I think about them. That said, naturally processed coffees are still my favorite. This coffee is a perfect example of why I love natural coffees, Roberto Ulloa has produced a beautifully juicy cup.

New coffee alert!! SATURDAY DROP Colombia - Maria Rodriguez Sidra Prime Washed Taste like: Pineapple, Blueberry, Cherry, Tropical Fruit This is a wonderful, fruit-forward example of Sidra, complex and clean. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more coffees from this excellent producer.

DINO series drop Really excited to drop these two coffees, plus a third releasing today. A friend recently introduced me to mélangé-style espresso: a blend of light and dark roasts. While I’ve had many requests for blends at Inugami, this felt like the perfect place to start. Both coffees are fruit-forward and complex, and I’m genuinely proud of how they turned out, they taste incredible. You can find more details on the website for each one. Trex taste like: Tropical Roasted Fruit, Cherry, Pineapple, Smoky, Bright Pterodactyl taste like: Carmel Apple, Apple Candy, Roasted Tropical Fruits, Stewed Mojito #espresso

New coffee drop! Colombia - Juliana Guevara and Wbeimar Lasso Type: Pink Bourbon Natural Taste like: Cherry Lemonade, Stewed Fruits, Sweet Hibiscus Excited to drop this perfect Pink Bourbon for the summer time. This natural process has amazing Cherry limeade notes while still being so sweet. This week’s drop includes last week’s three new coffees and something I am really excited about. A natural pink bourbon, from Juliana Guevara and Wbeimar Lasso. This is the first coffee I have offered from these two amazing producers. It will definitely not be the last. Many years ago, Pink Bourbon is the coffee that taught me how to dial in espresso. I had to learn so much on my first bag of Pink Bourbon. It didn’t pull like the other varietals I was used to back then. Everything else was easy compared. In these days I treated everything like a OMNI roast which I still kinda do. This particular Pink Bourbon was temperamental and wanted to constantly pull 10 second shots (back then as I was still learning I was trying for standard 30 second shot) but when I was able to pull it good it was amazing. It was a beautiful balance of acidity and sweetness. The first time I tried this new coffee I was reminded of back then. Even this coffee years and years apart from that first one reminds me of where I started. I’m glad it does.

Saturday new coffee drop! Colombia - Edward Sandoval (Wush Wush Washed) Taste like: Tropical Fruit, Maple Syrup, Sparkling Sweet Lemonade I’m so grateful I was able to get enough of this coffee to produce a run of bags. Wush Wush is still my favorite coffee varietal. This producer is new to me, and it’s also my first time roasting a washed Wush Wush. I’m excited to hear what you awesome people think of this coffee! #edwardsandoval #wushwush

Saturday new coffee drop! Colombia - Edwin Noreña (Caturra Carbonic Honey Green Apple Co-Ferment) Taste like: Green Apple Candies, Apple Cider, Mojito Our seventh Edwin Noreña at Inugami! We haven’t carried a Noreña coffee since Halloween, and this one is pure co-ferment deliciousness. Two different co-ferments are married together, similar to a wine-processing method. @campohermoso_coffeefarms #edwinnoreña
