Sweet, strong, nicely balanced and blended for us exclusively.
Just before Christmas a personable young bloke can hurtling into the embryonic cafe and told us he’d just decided to blend and roast coffee. Good idea, we said, let us know when you have and we’ll stock it.
For a while we heard no more, but then yesterday, an improbably short time to get coffee roasters through the import system, set them up and start roasting, it arrived, the very first Seasonal Blend from the Suffolk Coffee Company. Roasted in Peasenhall, we are currently and not for very long the only place in the entire universe you can actually buy this coffee. Better still, we’re the only place you can taste it first.
This Saturday morning we’re introducing it to the world, so come and see us, taste it and be early, because we’ve got just 20 bags and when they’re gone we have to go around the corner and knock on the door to get some more.
What’s It Like?
We all sat down to decide what we liked about coffee and just as importantly, so we could articulate what we didn’t like about it in general. I like my coffee strong, but I don’t like acidity. I like it quite sweet, but I don’t ever want to put sugar in it – I want to drink coffee, not Coke, after all. I want a little salty Peaberry-type lightness too. And we got it.
Don’t take my word for it, although it really is seriously good coffee. Come and try it for yourself. Or ask Mr Lewis, our resident gourmet-product tester.
Tasting in progress. Hush. He's got to concentrate.
