That´s why I´m fired-up for the roast at Full City Café. Not only do they roast it on the premises, the joint is in Chacarita below Buena Onda Yoga's location there. (Someone needs to write about how the expat community here is finally expanding outside the traditional ghetto.)
After a couple cafes doble, I came away with a ¼ kilo of a surprising Columbian varietal called Café Exotico Guayatá that Full City's Alan has been just started importing. The stuff is great; it's full, slightly fruity with a citricky acidity. With a splash of milk or cream, it's a rich smooth deelight.
They even ground it especially for my Aeropress!
Alan tells me the coffee has a story, as well. Guayatá is named after a particular town in Columbia where it is produced by a rural women's association. The local women support directly or indirectly almost 900 families there.
I haven´t eaten there yet but the reviews have all been raves and the pictures look great. I think there´s a burger in my future.

Finally! Although I am no longer living in BsAs, I am happy you all now have access to good coffee.
I am literally drinking the Guayata as we speak. I went to Full City yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. There is inside seating (typical cafe style), an outside "living room" with a couch and everything, as well as a outdoor patio with glorious sunshine. I had delicious food, incredible coffee and a really nice long talk with Alan, the owner. Everyone should make a trip to this place. Seriously, you can't go wrong! And thanks Yanqui Mike for the recommendation!!
That Guayatá is really somthin' special, ain't it? I just drank my last cup this morning ...gotta get back to Full City, baby!
