Great Taste Award for our Decaf
Judged by the experts, our Decaf is awarded a Great Taste 1-star in world’s most coveted food and drink awards. 14,195 products were put through the competition’s rigorous blind judging process; and our Decaf was dubbed a “refreshing and satisfying” at the world’s most coveted food and drink awards. 4,088 products were awarded a Great Taste 1-star – ‘food and drink that delivers fantastic flavour’, 1,568 were awarded a Great Taste 2-star and 248 were awarded a Great Taste 3-star. The Decaf was a big hit with the judges, here's what they had to say “Chocolate and nuts on the nose with a touch of raisin. The nuttiness gives way to a light flavour of stone fruit on the palate with a hint of floral tea. There is still a distinct coffee-ness about it, though. It would be hard not to like this - it's not complex but it's refreshing and satisfying and, perhaps best of all, you don't miss the caffeine at all.” Adding to the amazing feedback we received last year for our Brazil. Only 41.6% of the total products entered received an award. We are thrilled to have won a Great Taste award again, this time for our Decaf. We believe in our coffee and Coffee Flamingo and it makes us so proud to be adding the prestigious black and gold Great Taste badge of honour to our another product. Being recognised with a Great Taste means so much to independent producers such as us, as it makes all the hard work and determination worth it! What is Great Taste? Recognised as a stamp of excellence and actively sought out by food lovers and retailers alike, Great Taste, organised by the Guild of Fine Food, values taste above all else. All products in the line-up for judging are blind tasted: every product is removed from its packaging so it cannot be identified, before entering a robust, layered judging process. This year, judging took place over 89 days in Dorset and London, with a panel of more than 500 judges putting the products to the test. The line-up saw food and drink products submitted from an extraordinary 109 different countries across the world. The full list of this year’s winners and where to buy them can be found at www.greattasteawards.co.uk and a wide range of the award-winning products are available to buy in delis, farm shops and independent retailers across the country.

Mastering Cold Brew Coffee: A Guide
The weathers warming up, the sun is shining and we've had Pride month. Which can only mean one thing, ice coffee! Almost all coffee shop's will have ice coffee available but only the good ones take the time to make cold brew. So what's the difference, well iced lattes or americano's are just those drinks poured over ice. While they are favoured by some often these drinks can be a little bitter or masked by the milk. Where Cold brew retains the flavour properties of the coffee more closely. Not only that it is usually smoother in taste and texture. As with pour over or filter you'll get a more complex flavour profile and taste the subtleties of the coffee. Something you wont get with espresso based iced coffee. Our Brazil is a great option for cold brew, it's a slightly darker roast for cold brew but its dark chocolate and nutty flavours really work. Heres the recipe: 1. 60g of coffee for approx 1 litre of water. You'll need to have a course grind, like you would for a french press or pour over. 2. Pour cold water over grounds and use a spoon to make sure all of it is covered in water and soaked. 3. leave for approx 12 hours at room temperature or we prefer in the fridge over night. 4. You'll need to use a filter paper in order to get a clean smooth coffee. Alternatively a more subtle complex cold brew can be made with our Kenya, its fruity light flavours work amazingly well and give a really refreshing finish. For this recipe we suggest 70g of coffee per litre. but use the same process. Why not experiment yourself and see which of our coffee's can produce an awesome cold brew. Be sure to let us know, or show us your creations on Instagram and Facebook.
