We are super excited about the arrival of an Ecuador Microlot coffee from the Perla Chiquita farm. Ecuador has made some significant strides in the last 10-year and is producing some high quality coffees. This high altitude coffee is grown at over 8,000 feet and the coffee cherries are picked ripe and dry fermented for 12–14 hours before being washed four or five times. They're then given a pre-dry on cement patios before being moved to raised beds. Drying can take between 10–14 days, depending on the climate conditions. In the cup it's clean and sweet with notes of caramel and plum.

Super excited to announce that in addition to our Peru, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Decaf Peru, Simply Bulk Market is now offering our Ethiopian and Microlot El Salvador. Head on to downtown Longmont (418 Main Street) and pick yourself up some.
Pro Tip: At Simply Bulk Market you get more coffee for your money. Pay for the product, not the package! We don’t roast a fraction of what the big guys do, but what we do roast is done with a whole lot of passion. Fresh roasted coffee that is locally roasted in Longmont with a little science, art, and love. And sometimes a tad of luck. We’re not coffee snobs. We just love great coffee. How about you?
Do you know where your coffee is roasted? In a faraway place where all they care about is the bottom line? Did they hit their quarterly numbers? Are their investors happy? Can they squeeze another dollar out of the farmer or other hard-working folks along the supply chain? Or do you support someone local who cares about where their coffee comes from, who produces it, how it is produced, and making sure treating people well along the supply chain is a top priority? Are they roasting for the love of craft? Or just to fill an order? Whether it is us or someone else doesn’t really matter. Just support a local roaster who cares more about the bean than the bottom line.
We get asked a lot about where our name came from. Those big fluffy Nimbus clouds? Nope. Harry Potter’s flying Nimbus 2000? Nope. In reality it comes from community. Over the course of the last 20 years we’ve spent endless hours with our friends on bikes traversing the dirt roads in Boulder County and beyond. Nimbus is a road. A dirt road. A dirt road with shared experiences. And our hope is to share those experiences with you. Great Coffee. Great Friends. Great Bikes. Dirt Roads. |
