Dragonfly Coffee Roasters

Nicaragua Cafe Vidita Los Congos Pacamara Natural

Coffee Review's No. 3 Coffee of 2015
Roaster Location:Boulder, Colorado
Coffee Origin:Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua
Roast Level:Light
Agtron:63/91
Est. Price:$18.00/12 ounces
Review Date:November 2015
Aroma:9
Acidity:9
Body:9
Flavor:9
Aftertaste:9

Blind Assessment: Complex, pungently juicy. Rose-like flowers, roasted cacao nib, candied lemon, mulberry in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned, softly lively acidity; plush, satiny mouthfeel. Deep and flavor-saturated in the finish.

Notes: This exceptional coffee was selected as the No. 3 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2015. This lot is comprised entirely of the much admired, bold-bean Pacamara variety of Arabica, a cross between the giant-beaned Maragogipe variety and Pacas, a selection of the heirloom Bourbon. This is a dry-processed or “natural” version, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit has been removed, as is the case with wet-processed or “washed” coffees. Los Congos, established in 1997, is an award-winning farm run by the Paguaga family, leading Nicaraguan coffee producers for several generations. Dragonfly Coffee is a Boulder, Colorado-based micro-roaster that produces high-quality coffees and supports worthy causes. Visit www.dragonflycoffeeroasters.com or call 303-579-2154 for more information.

Who Should Drink It: Superb dried-in-the-fruit Pacamara: deep, resonant, complexly layered, original.
