VIVA EL INJERTO!

by **xristrettox** on Fri Jun 02, 2006 3:35 pm

So what is it now? Four years straight of carrying the El Injerto?

Also, will this be a seperate lot of El Injerto that we have to order, or is all of El Injerto?

by **fleck** on Fri Jun 02, 2006 3:45 pm

my guess is that this is a special lot separated out for auction. i have noticed the injerto bourbon in other guat auctions over the last couple years, so i'm sure it's the same deal.

i'm sure d has more details, but we still still be getting out "normal" lots of injerto bourbon as well (which is also kickin' as i gotta taste the pre-ship samples of that a month or so ago).

lots of farms will seperate out a small quantity of the best for coe and other auctions even if they sell the bulk of their lots to other buyers.

Funny you should say that, Nick. Billy, Stephen, Duane, and I just started our own podcast. I bet you would like the link, but it's for Oregonians only :wink:

9 hour marathon !!

I think it's absolutely stunning that the lowest coffee went for $5.05 a lb.

I've been saying for some time now, others can keep the record prices and the bragging rights. For me, CoE is *good* when even the middle tier coffees go for $4, $5, $7, or more a lb. I'd always rather see a record set for the lowest priced coffee (ie, highest ever lowest price coffee) than the record breaking high #1s.

I'm really happy to see the results of this auction.
