Cotswold Blend Specialty Coffee

A refined, unhurried coffee with a distinctive almond softness. Mellow and refined rather than punchy – the Cotswold Blend unfolds gradually, layering milk chocolate, almond and lemon across a gentle start and a delicate finish.It is particularly good with alternative milks.

Flavour that unfolds rather than announces itself

This blend layers three specialty-grade, traceable coffees: one from the COOMAP co-operative in Minas Gerais, Brazil; a fully washed coffee grown around Rwanda’s Lake Kivu; and an arabica sourced from co-operatives in Honduras’s Copán region. Where our House Blend is built for punch, the Cotswold Blend is its more delicate neighbour – the same idea of layering different origins together, aimed instead at something that unfolds slowly rather than hits you straight away.

Expect milk chocolate, almond and lemon – a distinctive, gentle nuttiness with a soft, delicate finish rather than anything heavy.

Every coffee behind this blend meets the same specialty-grade, fully-traceable standard — see how we source for our blends.

When to drink it

It’s genuinely versatile: morning, afternoon or after dinner, and it pairs well with savoury food. It works as a morning cup for anyone who prefers not to be jolted awake; it’s equally at home mid-afternoon or after dinner. It pairs particularly well with an afternoon cake or a morning pastry. It works beautifully with cows milk or alternative milks such as oat or almond.

How to brew it

This blend is versatile across brewing methods – espresso, French press, AeroPress, or V60 all work well. Its gentler character means you don’t want to over-brew it and you’ll be rewarded with a delightful, layered cup.
