· Origin
Harvest calendars, briefly
Origins ship on different clocks. "New crop" is a season, not a slogan.
Central America and Colombia often peak roughly from late calendar year into early spring. Brazil's main arabica harvest sits around mid-year. Ethiopia's southern washed lots often move later into the following year. These are rough bands; altitude and weather shift them every season.
When a café says "new crop", ask which origin and which harvest year. A bag roasted yesterday from last year's greens is still last year's crop. Fresh roast and new harvest are different clocks.
Use the calendar to set expectations, not to chase novelty. Quiet cups after a late harvest can still be honest cups.
One note a day. Origin notes are about the farms and lots in this guide, using the cupping scores already listed. Competition notes repeat published 2025 results and link the source.
