Vista Hermosa - Coffee

If the postie is going to wake me then it's always a bonus if it contains this months Square Mile Coffee parcel. This month it's Vista Hermosa from Huila in south east Colombia. Luis Alfonso Tovar along with his wife and three kids are responsible for this one. They've got 15,000 trees on their 3.5 hectare farm and grow the Caturra, Castillo and San Bernado varieties.

All earthy and pungent on the grind and thick, full bodied with a touch of sweetness in the mouth. They say lime juice and plums and I'm getting that. Lime juice acidity to kick off with the plums coming in a bit later on the finish. Hmmm. This might be my favourite one yet!
