Ethiopia Telila Yukro Washed
Brightly zingy, but with a juicy body, there’s a hit of fresh white grapes up front. That mellows out into a big, sweet nectarine, with delicate hints of raspberry and passionfruit on the finish. The nectarine lingers through the aftertaste, finally slipping into kiwi fruit as you go back for the next sip. A super interesting and complex cup of fruit for you.
Bolivia Volcán del Tigre
There's a delicious black grape, alongside a sweet, pale caramel - with an almost buttery smooth texture. Red apple joins on the finish and then there's a delicate cocoa on the aftertaste for a very well rounded and balanced coffee.
Yemen Sanani-Mahwiti Natural
This is an unusual one - it's rather like a fruit crumble, but what's coming to the fore changes a lot as it cools. It starts off with a big grating of nutmeg. When it's hot, the crumble topping and brown sugar stand out too, but when it's cooled down there's a fruitiness of cooked plums and prune, with a little cinnamon edge coming in.
Kenya Othaya Chinga Washed AB
Washed coffees from Othaya are famous for their citrus flavours and that's exactly what you get here - a big zing of lemon and lime, with a good white sugar hit. On the finish is a little satsuma, slipping into cranberry on the aftertaste, for a bright, refreshing cup.
Bolivia Bebeto Mamani
There's a great balance to this cup of coffee - think a Cadbury's caramel sweetness of milk chocolate and caramel, with a crisp but restrained acidity of green apple cutting through and finishing with white grape on the aftertaste.
Bolivia Trapiche
The first thing that leaps out is how smooth and silky this coffee is. That beautiful texture is backed up by sweet dark toffee and chocolate flavours, with a red apple acidity balancing it out.
Ethiopia Ana Sora Natural
This kicks off with a burst of sweet orange, with a delicate floral edge running behind it. We love this coffee each year for the blueberry it brings though, and that takes over from the orange, backed up by dark chocolate notes. The fresh blueberry hit fills out and lingers into the aftertaste, dragging you back for more.
Ethiopia Bulessa Washed
Ever dunked a chocolate malted milk biscuit in tea?? This coffee kicks off with lots of black tea at the start, with a wedge of lemon in there too. As it cools, the sweetness really comes to the fore and makes this a well balanced quaffing coffee, with malted milk biscuit and milk chocolate slowly filling the cup.
Kenya Kiriga Estate AB
Blackcurrant jam in a cup. Super sweet with brown sugar and biscuit against the blackcurrant and then a little sprinkle of cocoa nibs on the aftertaste.
There's an upfront punch of blackcurrant acidity here, which softens out into ripe nectarines. That lingers through towards the finish, where a sweet, golden sugar note hangs through into the aftertaste.
