Spanish Blend Coffee

We are very excited today because our new coffee beans have arrived and we are now serving even better coffee than we did before!!
Roasted in Asturias, up in the north of Spain, our coffee is a blend of 70% Natural Roast and 30% Torrefacto.  Torrefacto means that the natural roasted beans have a little sugar added right at the end of the roasting process.  This coats the beans in a delicious caramel like coating.  The Torrefacto beans are then mixed 70/30 with natural roasted beans.  The resulting coffee when ground in our shop is rich and dark with a luxuriously dark crema.  The coffee does not taste sweet at all, so no need to worry about that.   If you ever wondered why coffee tastes so fantastic in Spain, this is probably the reason why.


A perfect cafe con leche to start the day!
