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.

Where this batch is in its resting cycle
Perfectly good to drink anytime — this is just our guide to getting the most from it.
Why we suggest resting coffee

For many years we were taught that fresh is best for coffee. That's no longer the case, in fact it is the opposite. We're big advocates of letting coffee rest and age, much like we're used to doing with wine, but over a shorter span than your 2014 Pinot Noir. With espresso, after 2 weeks the coffee really starts to open up, and keeps going; we've drunk espresso 8 weeks off roast and it's tasted great. For filter, 6–8 weeks is when we see it come into a league of its own — honestly, we've equally been drinking it over 4 months off roast and tasting its best. This isn't to say you can't drink our coffee whenever — we love drinking a coffee through its ageing cycle to watch it open up.

Chapter 01 · The Producer

A natural Yellow Sudan Rume from Arturo Arango.

Arturo Arango farms El Paraíso in the volcanic soils of Quindío, between 1,300 and 1,450 metres. Yellow Sudan Rume is rare and fussy. It yields little and asks for constant attention. Arturo's team handpicks only the ripest cherries. They ferment for 45 hours, then dry for around 10 days on raised beds. Cofinet, our import partner, brought this lot to us.

Super nice intro to the espresso program, lighter brew. Nice undertones. Would recommend if it’s your first bag of the program

Very interesting brew, I can definitely smell and taste the strawberry component with a pleasant chocolate powdery finish, extremely drinkable.
Verified buyerStrawberries and Cream | Ethiopia

★★★★★

This is a fantastic coffee. Very fruit forward, tastes like cherry Starburst. Great as a filter coffee, but if you like adventurous espresso, this makes for an interesting cortado.
