Coffee for connoisseurs

Coffee drinkers in Ennis and Maynooth are in for a treat next Saturday, when a limited supply of a special Peruvian coffee, made from the best beans in a specific region, roasted in small batches and not normally exported, goes on sale in the towns' branches of Esquires Coffee Houses. The organic Arabica coffee is certified Fairtrade, and is produced by the award-winning Wilson's Farm in the Cucso region of Peru. It is a medium roast with nutty, sweet flavours and will be served as filter coffee. There are Esquires Coffee Houses in 11 locations in Ireland, but only the shops at 31 O'Connell Street, Ennis, Co Clare and Manor Mills Shopping Centre, Maynooth, Co Kildare will be selling this coffee.
