Yes, no problem I'll do it. You guys could pickup at my house, or if that's too inconvenient, I'll deliver it personally. {;-D
From the GCBC: Brazil Moreninha Formosa
Farm/Coop/Estate Serra do Salitre, Minas Gerais, Cerrado Mineiro Base Price $2.20/lb
Additional Fees $3.00 flat fee $.50 each pound
Shipping Method USPS Flat Rate Box $23.95 per FRB (Can hold up to 15lbs) to Canada/Mexico
I also have a very nice coffee if you guys are interested; 2 *Brazil Cerrado 17/18 FC (Fine Cup) Natural D.P. "Monte Carmelo" Cerrado region, State of Minas Gerais.
CraigA ... that is very nice of you to offer your services for that. I don't mean to throw a Monkey Wrench into this but right now I have all the Brazil that I need. I bought Poco Fundo on a HarryHo distro and will not be needing any Brazil for some time. I wonder if we can include more splitters in here that way for the ones that want to sit on the side for certain distros may and others that need a particular bean may can go ahead with it.
That's great CraigA. Thank you for understanding. This one may even be doable with 2 splitting as the cost of the coffee is very inexpensive but the flavor is supposed to be quite good.

That's understandable.. perhaps we can all still collaborate on a future buy. Craig -- do you still want to try to work something out, or shall we wait for a later time / others to be involved? Also, re: that Brazil Cerrado.. I have seen that up on your website for a while now, is it still in good shape?
It'll be tough for me to get up your way for pickup as I'm in the east end, work downtown, and commute by bike.. but maybe we could make an alternate arrangement.

Maybe see if one or two more want to come in on it? That way the more the merrier & we could get two or whatever 15 lb flat rate USPS shipper boxes & various coffees.

Yes it's still in good shape, (I've had 3 bags of it, over diff time periods) that's why I put the last 1/3 - ½ of the bag on sale., to help move it out more quickly.This is my daily use coffee for the house/family for FP, drip, espresso blending. What I don't want to do is throw greens (& money!) away as I've had to do it in the past..
That's a good way to kill the little guy & go out of business, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do... I only keep my greens up to 1 year, most would sell out well within 6 months., but I've kept personal coffees for longer & had no problems. All my greens are kept stored under temp & humidity controlled conditions.
You can ask/email CG member Alan D olph4rt about the coffee as a reference.

I hear you, but as I said & offered., I'll gladly deliver the coffee personally. {;-)
It's still frrrresssshhh...a testament to Craig's great storage control.... Makes a great SO espresso ... but seeing it is the next best thing to tasting and smelling it, so:

Hey guys, Just got a Behmor so I'm interested in buying greens to start a stash to play/learn with. Affordable Brazilian would be good for that IMO and I'm also interested in others origins with good cupping reviews.
I'm in Quebec city.
Let me know thx nic
