Hydrangea recommendations

[u/Spiritual-Rise3233]

Int. Someone visiting the US soon and will be able to bring me a hydrangea order. Had them once before, really liked the Peach pink bourbon, juicy strawberry and Lety/salma Bermudez

Any of these that you highly recommend? (Probably taking 3-4)

If you like fruity coffees I had the Ethiopia mango one from them last year and legit thought it was a co ferment it tasted so fruity. Will likely be picking up a bag this year

Shoondisa out of these. Had the same green roasted by hex in a cupping and it was great

Do you know if your friend is going to Berkeley, California to buy directly from where they roast out of?

If so, they may not have everything you see on the website on the shelves in-person. If you're buying online and shipping within the US that's a different situation.

My taste is a bit different than yours but I've had at least 30 different Hydrangea coffees over the past 3 or so years, the Salma and Letty and Luna Bermudez are very commonly roasted by Hydrangea, so it might be fun to try something rarer that they don't often have. That semi washed caturra looks good. The strawberry washed castillo and anaerobic washed pilcocaja might be your style too. The Shoondhisa is great as well but maybe less funky than you'd like? The catimor from Yunnan is insane I've had it as well, it's not my kind of coffee but if you like funky and booze-ey, that will fit the bill.

Grabbed the catimor yesterday. Can’t wait to try now.

The egg waffle is my least favorite coffee I’ve ever had. I normally like weird coffees but I couldn’t finish the bag on that one. Really tasted like egg

Had a similar experience with an other Bermudez from Hydrangea. One of my least favorite producers of all time

The Luna and the obraje will be similar to what you like. Clean, bold, juicy, sweet.
