      Doesnt sound like they damaged it enough then if that is how it still tastes. According to wikipedia, the tea is sometimes called "Old Stinky".

      /nothing against the beanbay tea - just dont understand why people like that bergamot flavour.

        I was surprised by the bitterness of the Nicuraguan.Almost a robusta taste.
        Hi Bob and welcome to CS!

        FWIW, The only coffees Ive ever had that were bitter were due to the roast, the espresso machine, or the barista, and had nothing to do with the source or variety.  Maybe Ive just been lucky.
        You are right! Bitternes is usually a defect tracked back to one of the human elements in the processing or the extraction... but in saying that I have never been very found of the Nicaraguan attributes as I find them pretty boring.
        I was curious try this bean once I read this, so, I have just pulled a shot of this Nicaraguan 24hrs post and I can say that I tasted no bitterness what so ever. Now dont get me wrong, I still have a long way to go in understanding the flavours that can be tasted in a short black (shot of espresso), but I have tasted a bitter shot and this didnt have it.

          Hey Alchemist,

          HUGE thankyou for your generosity
          I didnt log in this morning before work, therefore I didnt see your offer and while I was out I dropped into a Crime Converters and sitting there on the shelf (prob from a B&E) was a shiny Breville BB290.  $35 later it was in the back of the van! Maybe hold on to it for another promising home roasternaught (wife calls me that now after the failed popper attempt- "Houston we have a problem")
          Thanks again for the offer

                Supplies have arrived - thanks Sue and Simon for your coordination here in WA - excellent.

                Just had my first cup of the new Kanchenjunga SFTGFOP1 - fabo. Even better than the last lot of Kanchenjunga (and arrived in the nick of time - I was down to the last 50 grams of the old).

                Thanks Andy.
