Lomond coffee
A Roaster We Trust
Lomond Coffee are based in SE London, roasting with real care and consistency, month after month. This time they've brought us Monte Cristo, a coffee grown on a three-generation family farm in Guatemala.
That kind of long-standing, generational relationship with a single farm is exactly what we look for in the independent UK roasters we feature in our specialty coffee subscription boxes.
Monte Cristo
Grown on a three-generation family farm in Guatemala, this washed medium roast is bold but smooth, sweet and deeply enjoyable. Wet and dry milling on-site means every bean has been handled with care from cherry to cup. Expect rich chocolate up front, a lingering caramel sweetness, and a bright hint of apple to keep things lively. Approachable enough for a morning cafetière or espresso, and interesting enough to savour as a filter – a proper all-rounder from a roastery doing things exactly right.
This is the kind of coffee that works for everyone at the table. A proper all-rounder from a roastery doing things exactly right.
