“Heavy roast that actually delivers. Well balanced flavours. No ashiness. Big, brave and bold – and it worked. Some gentle chocolate.” Great Taste Awards judges.

Rare outsized beans redolent with a honey-sweet taste. These huge 'elephant' beans come from very rare Arabica bushes. They are prized for their enormous size and particularly rich taste. Small plantations on the fertile volcanic slopes of Lake Atitlan combine their precious harvests and take them to local cooperatives to be pulped. The giant beans are then roasted to a deep shade of mahogany to bring out their full-bodied taste. A decadently rich coffee, shimmering with notes of honey and chocolate.

Strength- Medium Strong Roast (4) 

Packed in an environment where nuts are handled. 

Total Price: £3.75

Purchased this after seeing good reviews online and it's 'great taste' award but was very disappointed. I found the taste to be bitter and weak, certainly not worth the price tag.

Will be buying a large bag of these next weekend after trying several different beans. Very complex taste with hints of dark chocolate & no nasty after taste.

Whittard shop in Southampton gave me the choice I requested, by way of smelling the coffee beans. This was the first of 5 I tried, had to come back to it. 1 kg bag bought in the shop there and then.

4 weeks later, shy of £30, have run out and, like others, need to either go back to their big shop, or wait for online delivery.

No complaints about the coffee, although it did go quickly, no one else seems to provide Whittard choice.

If you like you're coffee strong, but not too bitter, then this is the coffee for you. It offers a really bold taste without the downsides, and simultaneously gives a very smooth after-taste to match. Win!
