Why the Tuesday coffee is the Tuesday coffee

The Tarrazu is the Tuesday coffee. It has been the Tuesday coffee since before I can properly account for, and it will go on being the Tuesday coffee long after I have stopped keeping track. Some things you do not put to a vote.

Almond, green apple, clean. Washed, even, predictable in the way a Tuesday is supposed to be predictable. Number Nine roasts it without complaint, a courtesy she does not extend to everything, and it pulls the same on Beatrice week after week, which from Beatrice is practically affection.

If you want a coffee that surprises you, come Saturday. I will pour you something natural and strange that argues with you the whole way down. Tuesday is for the cup that does not argue. Some days you want the argument. Most days you want the Tarrazu.
