Some coffees are born to stand out. Others are born to dance. This one apparently decided to do both, and we're not about to stop it. Introducing Mango Arango, our latest tropical troublemaker from Arturo Arango at El Paraíso in Colombia. And yes, Mango Arango from Arango, makes me want to Tango Tango. We couldn't have planned that better if we'd tried. Sound familiar? You might remember a certain Pango Pango from our past. No relation (that we're aware of), but clearly we've got a thing for tropical fruit and questionable rhyming skills. Behind the catchy name is a seriously impressive coffee. Grown in the volcanic soils of Quindío, this rare Yellow Sudan Rume is notoriously fussy, producing small yields and demanding plenty of attention. A bit of a diva, really. But when it delivers, it absolutely delivers. Arturo and his team handpick the ripest cherries before 45 hours of aerobic fermentation and around 10 days drying on raised beds. A lot of effort for something most of us will drink before 9am, but who's complaining? The result? A tropical dance party in your mouth. Think juicy Mango Smoothie taking centre stage, silky Vanilla Cream smoothing out the moves, exotic Starfruit bringing the flair, and a zesty kick of Lemon keeping everyone on their toes. Sweet, creamy, vibrant and ridiculously drinkable. Like a tropical holiday without the overpriced flights, questionable dance moves or emails to answer. Mango Arango. From Arango, lets Tango. No dance lessons required.
