Stubborn Sumatran Bundle

£ 11.88

Sumatra (Blue Lingtong region, blended with regional beans). Rich yet gentle; fragrant and silky; prominent fruit and chocolate; liquorice hints with coarser grind. Drift into an enchanted forest of silken temptation, where ripe tropical fruits entwine with molten dark chocolate in a fragrant ballet, accented by elusive liquorice whispers that emerge like hidden treasures—gentle on the soul, yet irresistibly lush, inviting endless discoveries with every nuanced grind.

The Stubborn Sumatran Blend

Roast Level: Dark/ Medium

Flavour notes: A smooth and silky blend. Rich tastes of fruit and chocolate with hints of liquorice.

Brew method: 18g used for a 1:2 ratio in a double shot. Grind size 12 was used to yield a stunning espresso in 25-30 seconds.

Overall opinion:

This was exactly my kind of blend with taste notes I would usually go for deep, earthy, rich, and beautifully chocolatey from the first sip.
For me, it opens with bold dark chocolate notes, followed by a smooth, full-bodied, comforting finish. The low acidity lets those roasted flavours shine, leaving a comforting warmth after each sip.

I paired this espresso with oat milk, and it worked perfectly — adding an extra velvety texture while still letting the richness of the coffee come through. If you love a strong, grounding cup with a smooth finish, this blend is definitely worth trying.

️ Overall, I’d rate this blend an 8/10

A touch more balance between bitterness and sweetness would make it even more memorable.
