Whittard Guatemalan Rainforest Coban

...coffee mug and some beans. Whittard of Chelsea Guatemala Elephant coffee beans to be exact, and rather nice they are too. Having graduated to coffee supremo overnight I thought I’d start with strong roast beans. They have various kinds on display in the shop and these smelt particularly fantastic, and besides they sounded cute so what’s a girl to do. The first thing to do with these Arabica beans is get a really good whiff of them. They are rich, ...
...how they will taste. Whittard say they have tones of chocolate and honey which sounds even better and explains the smoothness.

Review of Whittard Guatemalan Rainforest Coban

The taste of sensuality Have you ever been in a really good coffee shop and just smelled the freshly ground coffee and you know you do not want to leave. Well that is how I feel about whittards coffee beans especially Guatemalan rainforest the coffee produced in this region I find one of the best coffees around the coffee from the coban region is one of the highest grades you can get, there are two distinct grades which I particularly like that ...
...an underlying sweetness. Then you have the dark roasted which has a smoky aroma but is robust with a bittersweet taste and prices depend on what you buy and how much, I really believe there is no finer coffee I will go into town and go into whittards coffee house to buy coffee beans fresh but never ground, I will travel home unpack my shopping ground the coffee myself and put the coffee machine on while I go and have a shower. I get out just in ...
