First and foremost we want to say THANK YOU!
2022 was another wild ride but without your support none of this would be possible. We truly appreciate all the support whether you are a long time customer or a new to French Truck.
2022 saw a return to normalcy from a coffee sourcing perspective. We were able to get back to traveling and visit our producing friends in Colombia, Peru, and Brazil.
Colombia: Over the past year we have sourced some of the best coffees we have ever come across in Colombia. For our 10th anniversary, we went all out and featured 5 unique coffee varietals all from Colombia! With an emphasis on the unique flavors varietals and processing methods can have on coffees, we were able to see a drastic difference in flavor all within one origin. We are currently still featuring one of the most electric coffees we have ever featured, which is our Grand Cru Sidra from producer Johan Vergara.
Peru: After not being able to travel for a few years we finally made it back to visit our long time friend and producer Gilmer Cordova Mejia and his family. It was a real treat to walk the farm and have lunch with the whole family. They have been busy with improved infrastructure for processing coffee. As well as some exciting new coffee varieties being planted. They are experimenting with naturals as well. This coffee is currently in transit and should be available in January. We cannot wait to share Gilmer's coffee with everyone!
Brazil: We also checked in with one of oldest producing partners in Brazil, Carmo Coffees. They continue to lead the way for specialty coffee in Brazil. Brazilian coffee is a staple component of our New Orleans Dark Roast. We have some really amazing coffee that is on the way, and should be available in early 2023.
We have more delicious coffees on the way, so be sure to look out for that!
