You've probably heard of high grown coffee before. If you haven't, it is sought after because growth at high altitudes allows a longer maturation process and results in a more developed flavor. Nepalese coffee takes this concept to a whole new level (or height, I suppose). This coffee is grown at altitudes over 8000m, in the Himalayan mountains. Himalayan coffee is relatively new to the specialty coffee scene, but it has already made quite an impression. Comparisons to Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee have been made, which is widely considered to be among the best in the world.

If you've heard the hype surrounding Nepalese coffee and have decided to give it a try, this is a great option. Mount Tahoma roasts these single origin beans upon order to ensure maximal freshness. This coffee is quite complex, perhaps due to the extended maturation process that it experiences at such high altitudes. You'll smell strong aromatic cedar as soon as you open the bag. Notes of dark chocolate and caramel are prominent and some earthy character also contributes to the profile. A mild acidity is present but does not overwhelm and a natural sweetness ties the cup together. Believe the hype, Himalayan coffee will be enjoyed by any coffee enthusiast!
