We were in Bishop at Erick Schat's Bakery having breakfast. We order the usual pastry items and coffee. Not expecting too much from the coffee in one of the remote regions of California, I was pleasantly surprised by how good the coffee was.
I asked the bakery staff if they made their coffee and was informed that it was made locally in Bridgeport and delivered fresh weekly to them.
I have drank coffee from all around the world, nothing beats local fresh roasted coffee made with TLC. You can taste the difference when it is made fresh, than something that have sat on the market shelf for months.
I was able to track down the company that made their coffee, it is made locally in a tiny small town in the Sierras, the higher altitude does something to the coffee. Even brewing coffee in higher evevation, you have to tweak the process, so roasting at the higher elevation changes the taste as well.
The depth of taste in the coffee was what I noticed with my first sip and the weight of the taste in the tongue. It was not too heavy, but very aromatic and no after taste.
After I got home, I researched and found that they operate an online shop. I ordered some coffee, the coffee arrived very fast, and was packaged well. I made my normal brew and it was even better than when I had it in Bishop.
Great find at Erick Schat's, which lead me to finding this local roster.
Overall, very high quality locally roasted coffee from the high mountains in the Sierras. read more
