I would second Ethiopia. Drinking some right now from a small roaster out of Seattle.

you might want to try Halfwit, Metropolis, Ipsento, or Dark Matters which are all local to Chicago. They all also rotate their stock so you always get fresh coffee.

Also anything from them with the FC+ to Vienna range, there are quite a few and their descriptions are very helpful, too.

What are the latest recommendations in green beans from either CBC or Sweet Maria's? I'm looking at the Kenyan Peaberry, but I'm just getting back into roasting coffee. I'm not sure what's good, anymore.

I buy almost exclusively Brazilian dry processed. Both my wife and I love the flavor of Brazilians. Caramel, nuts, chocolate. I roast everything to a medium+ these days and everything comes from Sweet Maria’s.

I've been loving Hawaain coffee from Kauai, but it is pricey.
I'm always looking for that golden nectar of a blueberry profile, but haven't found it in some time.

I can't afford Hawaiian, so maybe I'll try the Brazilian.

I have not been roasting all that much over the last ten years, but I do have a fair amount of beans. The "bean scene" (I despise the use of the word scene, normally) is as it ever was. Enjoy those you have enjoyed before, but be willing to give something else a shot. I have been roasting Kona, bought a few small bags from CBC, to gift my son and daughter-in-law as they went to Hawai'i on their honeymoon five years ago. I keep Tanzanian Peaberry, Uganda Mount Elgon, and some Guatemalan.
