June Roaster’s Pick at Zingerman’s Coffee Company
Colombia Huila
We are again offering this fine coffee from Jose Herminzul Ninco Lara of Finca Monte Frio located in the Hobo Municipality, Huila region. Microlots from Jose Ninco’s estate placed 5th in the Colombia 2012 Cup of Excellence. For this month, we have changed the roast pro le dramatically – choosing to highlight the sweetness and body inherent in the bean. We’ve brought out more of the sugar and less of the acidity. It has notes of baker’s chocolate, honey and soft herbs and is exceptional in a Chemex or Clever filter. A Presspot and Syphon will bring out a slightly brighter taffy flavor.

Two New Treats at Zingerman’s Bakehouse
Raspberry Patti Pockets
These precious pocket pies are ideal for breakfast. Yes, you have our permission to have pie for breakfast! Start your day, or end it too, with a smile from one of these handy little pie squares. We named them after Patti, one of our long time pastry kitchen managers. We take our flakiest butter pie dough, fill it with seedless raspberry preserves, bake it a golden brown and garnished with a drizzle of raspberry glaze. They just taste so good!
Tokaji (say tow-kai) Cream Cake
Another distinctive dessert from Hungary, “the land of 10,000 pastry lovers”. Auguszta Auguszt, fifth generation baker of one of the oldest baking families in Budapest today, published a recipe in her family’s book. We enjoyed it so much that we adapted the recipe to come up with our own American Hungarian version. This torta is an interesting combination of flavors and special ingredients starting with Tokaji wine, from the Tokaj wine region of Hungary. We’re using a sweet topaz-colored variety, 5 Puttyonos Aszú. The wine and Guernsey Dairy heavy cream make the cream that fills and covers the cake. Inside are layers of soft vanilla chiffon cake and chopped raspberries. The outside is garnished with sliced toasted almonds and whole raspberries. The first few test batches of this cake were quickly devoured by our staff. We invite you to taste it for yourself!
