I am very impressed with these. Low acidity smooth and lots of nutty chocolate flavours. Not outrageously expensive £4.85 for 227g and happy to see they do mail order with larger bags available

We got our tea and coffee from Miles & Co. I think they had a depot near the docks. My ex-local deli in Bristol stocks them. I’ve yet to try any of the roasters up here in Moray. My last purchase was Sumatran Mandheling from M & S; another good one from them; strong, rich roast. I notice there’s a tiny roaster in Findhorn so will cycle over when I get a good day and give them a try.
