Taste of the WeekYesterday, about ten, I was routinely sipping my cup of coffee, enjoying the sunshine coming in the south facing window when, all of a sudden, I realised I had something special in my mouth, a really good coffee. Not that I was too surprised, as this splendid Colombian, my Taste of the Week, was the opening edition from the 2014 Robert Roberts Connoisseur Club.
What make its special is that it is what
they term a "microlot" coffee, one that comes from a specific area in
a single coffee farm, Finca Laguna, owned by Dona Dita. Dona named this
"Musicas" and, for almost 30 years, only the locals knew of it.
Garath Scully, buyer and master blender
at Robert Roberts, is thrilled with this one: " its balance and
flavour and acidity..its ever so mild spice and nut background taste. The
subdued yet sublime acidity really tops it off." No wonder I woke from my
day dreaming.
