New Coffee Arrival - Los Congos from San Fernando in Nicaragua. Check for the large “pacamara” arabica bean variety and clean wild character. Right now sitting down typing this and enjoying as a long black (rounded grapefruit notes). Tried with milk (more savory, tobacco and crisp) and espresso (good sweetness, full mouthfeel, syrupy, some tropical fruit and floral notes). Courtesy of farmer Rene Paguaga. Update 2nd March 2012:  We have been enjoying the last (final) two roast batches of Los Congos - it has been incredibly sweet and held true to the grapefruit and caramel flavours, its been an exciting and somewhat unique coffee to offer in recent times. We look for more unique Arabica varietals to offer around mid year. For now, we have the last few kilograms to offer in store from 5th March at Howard Street and 160 Central Locations.
