The Coffee Diaries-Chapter 2

     Another Sunday, another coffee shop. This time around it's The Broadway Cafe located in Westport. I haven't been there in a while so it was interesting to return. They do a nice business for a Sunday morning. I asked the girl behind the counter what was good and she recommended a Rwanda Gisenya. This is a washed bourbon peaberry.
     The peaberry is interesting in that it's smaller than your average coffee bean. The bourbon wash is a process that I'm still trying to learn more about. I have to admit that the taste is pretty good. It's bold like a dark roast but lets you know it's there without kicking you in the mouth.
     The Broadway Cafe roasts their coffee locally (literally about two and a half blocks down the street) so they can insure freshness. They're their own brand and sell retail. If you get the chance, stop by and have a cup.
     While I have found an impressive cup of coffee, the quest continues...
