I hope that's an Arabica bean. Ethiopian or Guatemalan would be my favorite.

the Best coffee. Are you thinking the that Bean passed through a trout may

Original "COCH-Y-BONDHU" beetles, size 10 and 14, superimposed on the 1937 Allcock's Catalog. They appear to be made from an early plastic material and have a metal flake paint.
