How it Tastes

This is a punchy coffee, but it’s not a wallop across the chops type of punch. There are definite fruity notes there, with an overriding background cick of spices and nuts.

Coffee tasting is subjective, and it depends how you’re brewing it too of course, and how good an extraction you manage to achieve, but this is quite a forgiving blend, so it’s fairly easy to work with, and most people will get lovely fruity & spicey notes from this without too much faff.

Sumatra, Honduran & Ethiopian Arabica + Indian Robusta

This is a blend of three Arabicas with a small amount of Indian cherry Robusta to just amplify things slightly, but without taking it into the realms of burnt rubber!

If you’re looking for a forgiving blend which is easy to work with, with most brew methods, this is a decent bean to go for, and it’s really nicely balanced between punch and flavour.

Smooth and tasty

Fruitcake blend I am really enjoying. I'm not experienced with ground coffee so it took me a few times to get the amount right but once I did, in my little Melita drip gadget with the paper filters.... Very good 😊

All good!

We have tried several coffee blends from The Coffee Works and like them all, our favourite being the Chocolate Caramel decaf. I am always impressed at the speed of delivery and excellent customer service. Definately worth 5 stars.
