The Serf has been away for a while but now back with some more musings and cupping notes.Mssr Brown and Darling seem to have graduated from the Blue run slopes of humilation in their handling of the country to a scary vertical precipice of an economic cliff face. No doubt that little ol' Joe Public will be left to pick up the pieces. If like me you are trying to sell a house at the moment, one can do worse than contemplate the heady days of fixed rate mortgages under 5% while sipping on some Nicaraguan Jinotega Matagalpa.
Although Nicaragua may bring mixed images to mind, the coffee is well worth looking at. Aside from an attractive name that needs a couple of practice goes before one masters it, coffees from Nicaragua and especially from the Jinotega region are capable of being some of the very best coffee available.
Cupping this one, you get a sense of chocolateness right from the beginning both from the aroma and when you get to taste it. Aroma is intense with a hint of nuttiness and the weight and body of the coffee is very satifying indeed with some citrus coming through aswell. I will mark this one as one of my favourites.
