The Colombia El Carmen from Hard Lines, located in my home city of Cardiff, was calling out to me. Why? Cherry Bakewell favoured. I have not had a washed coffee since my first review and was very eager to taste it. Another Local Coffee for the Local people With 14 hour Cold Brewing Period in my Bodum Cold Brew Coffee Maker, The Colombia El Carmen from Hard Lines came out exactly as i expected. A very smooth, not so strong but tasted of a Cherry Bakewell. There wasn't much extra water needed to dilute it as it came out perfect, and it can be drank black, which is always a winner. The price per 250g was £11.50, which is a bit on the expensive side. However, if you want a treat and mix it up a little from the norm, this is certainly worth a try. I shall give The Colombia El Carmen from Hard Lines 4 out of 5 Beans 🫘
As local as I can get! The Brazil Single Origin 01 from Bridge Coffee Roasters, located in my hometown of Ystrad Mynach in the county of Caerphilly, caught my eye recently. Local Coffee for Local People Setup and The Taste With 14 hour Cold Brewing Period in my Bodum Cold Brew Coffee Maker, This Brazilian number came out very smooth and very tasty with a nice hint of walnut. Only a bit of Water was needed, and it can be drank black, which is always a winner. Considerations The price per 250g was £10.95, which is a bit on the expensive side. However, as of the 23rd of May, Bridge has ceased selling directly to consumers and is only now being sold wholesale. It's a shame, as the coffee was one of the best, but not strong, coffees I've had in a long time. The Score I shall give Bridge Coffee Roasters Brazil Single Origin 01 4 out of 5 Beans 🫘
