My preference are -

Indian Monsooned Malabar
Sumatra Aged Mandehling
Yemen Mocca
Sulawesi
Papua New Guinea
Indian Mysore 'Extra Bold' Nuggets


All of these I make sure that I several pounds of. They also become my base for my espresso blends.

Interesting, I agree with most of the list, that I have sampled anyway. Picked up some Mysore in my last shipment and spousal unit and I both find it kinda, well, blah. Almost 7-11ish if you know what I mean.

I'll try some different roasting profiles of course, but it could be the current batch ain't what it used to be, sort of like Timor.
