What coffees are you crazy about right now?

Hey you, what coffees are currently driving you to euphoric realms of sensory overload? What coffees are really knocking your socks off? Or making you put on socks cuz they're so cool...I'll get it started. Lately in my journey, I have enjoyed...

San Isidro Cup of Excellence El Salvador - Sunergos (truly complex, floral, and the aromatics were outstanding...Aaron FPed up some of this delight and it changed in the cup 4 or 5 times whilst cooling - chameleon coffee rocks)
Ehiopia Korate - Ray's Monkeyhouse (this coffee popped in my mouth w/ fruity wine delight)
Ethiopia Sidamo Gerbichu Lela - LVJ (wow again...Ethiopia coffees rocked this year)
Alethia Espresso Blend - Alliance World Coffee (so good...balanced...and like ice cream in a traditional 6 oz capp)
Hairbender - Stumptown (sweet and caramel goodness from Portland - thanks to Jeff C for acquiring more)

    Thanks for the background Nimbus. More often than not, the story behind the coffee tends to be just as important to me as tasting it. Oh and thanks for the tips on the FP and shots (S-O espresso...OK!). Looks like next time I roll by, there'll be more options than I originally thought possible (as I had it drip...but still off the hook goodness). Also I failed to mention before that as the cup of Korate cooled I got a delicate tea-like mouth-feel for the body and tongue tappingly good acidity. Glad to hear you are putting good R&D on roasting it. I LOVE a nice light roasted African coffee when done well.

    And Terri I hope you'll be by soon to catch some yumyums. Hang in there for now...
