Shibden Blend Arabica Roasted Coffee

Great service and very fresh beans. There was a flavour in this coffee that I really liked, possibly the Ethiopian beans, but for my taste the overall blend was a bit bland. Perhaps I'll try a single blend Ethiopian next time. I also tried the Brazil nuts coffee which I won't get again, as I struggled to get much flavour from it. The cattle market espresso was ok, but also too mild for my taste, but my wife enjoyed it with milk.

Second time buying the Shibden Blend, highly recommended. Makes a really smooth and tasty Espresso, thoroughly enjoyable.

It gets better over time for Espresso, so for me after a few weeks is when it's at peak and retains that flavour for a couple of months if not longer. Well worth it.

I've been ordering the Shibden Blend for well over a year. The last 1kg batch was different - it had too many indian beans that were over-roasted and hence bitter. I found it unpalatable and was happy when it was all gone. I won't be ordering Shibden again as I don't trust the blending anymore.

This makes a great Americano. Ideal for the morning coffee. I tried other blends, but I always come back to the Shibden Blend.

Lovely flavour, perfect all round blend that has been great for milk drinks and espresso.
