No kidding… get it while it lasts (there are only 3 bags left I heard) at Vince’s new 49th Parallel Cafe… a 12-ounce serving of Panama Hacienda La Esmeralda Especiale off the Clover for only $5 plus tax…! Today was my first time trying the Esmeralda on the Clover. Interestingly enough, I found the Clover to offer a more fuller-bodied experience compared to my usual press pot at Park Royal (isn’t it usually the opposite case?). Fruits and flavours still shone through… I got a ton of yuzu (Japanses citrus fruit) lingering in the aftertaste. A tremendous coffee experience!
