They say size doesn't matter...

...but it's still a source of constant fascination.  Our current tiny bean winner is our decaf...

...the hand writing is from our roast master Stephanie.  Green bean is on the left, roasted is on the right.

 

Compare that to our monster bean winner ( <Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!>)) the very pleasant Sumatran heirloom varietal "Adsenia"...

 

These are shot at the exact same scale (cropped from the same image).  Those are some of the largest beans I've seen this side of Marogogype's from Nicaragua that we had the pleasure of roasting a couple of years ago.  Also notice that the color of the green Adsenia is distinctly different from the human manipulated decaf bean above.

See for your self, drop by and chat us up at the next Schenectady Green Market!
