Central
America:
Jamaica Blue Mountain
Selected from the Wallenford Estate, this is the quintessential
classic coffee., rich flavour, aroma, full body and balanced
mild acidity. Of all coffees this must most closely match
the description given by Sheikh Abd-al-Kadir in 1587..."Coffee
is the common man's gold, and like gold it brings to every
man the feeling of luxury and nobility." Blue Mountain
is considered the 'rolls Royce' of all coffees. Its rarity,
due to limitations of the growing area is reflected in the
price.
Colombian-San
Agustin
Grown in the Andes mountains near the source of the Magdalena
river, shaded by bananas & tropical trees. Stone idols
from bygone civilisations can be found in the plantations.
This perfect setting produces a mild Arabica coffee. The cherries
are hand picked by families of coffee growers who sell direct
to control quality & purity. The resulting coffee has
a smooth, rich flavour with substantial body.
Guatemala
Maragogype
A high grown, mild coffee, has a lovely mellow taste with
slight acidity, much admired by connoisseurs. This particular
'elephant' bean, selected for its size, are sometimes considered
to be smoother and richer in flavour than the standard arabica
beans. Our darker roast would certainly meet the description
written by Ranwolf, the German physician in 1582...."A
very good drink that is almost as black as ink and very good
in illness, especially of the stomach."
