What is the head roaster's favourite coffee?

I'm often asked what my favourite Garage Roasters coffee is...

... and there's a little context I should provide before letting you know the answer!

Garage Roasters' most popular products are its blends... Croydon, Summer Hill, Out of Africa, Bête Noire, and Ashfield.  Our blends represent 70% of sales in total.  It's no coincidence that the Croydon Blend is my wife Helen's favourite coffee.

And my favourite coffee?  The Costa Rica Volcan Azul Geisha Natural.

I have been entranced with Geisha since the first time I tasted it.  The varietal has remarkable elegance, clarity and acid balance.  This is the coffee I pull out when I want to impress someone!  It's also the coffee I drink when I want to experience something special.  I deliberately ration out the experience because I'm a little scared that tasting something brilliant too often will make me blasé about it.

Here's hoping that you're having an excellent week... and if you're in the mood for something crazy special in your coffee then please click here to purchase some Geisha!
