Top tier. One of the better bags of coffee I’ve had from Horsham

Amazing taste, especially for the price

I have been really impressed with El Zumo. HCR have done an amazing job of creating this blend. I get loads of cooked fruit sweetness rather than bright acidity, and to my taste, no funky fermented flavours and very low bitterness. I actually enjoy the flavour of this more than many single origin coffees, which cost perhaps 50% more. I have also played around with blending this with a washed Kenyan coffee, to give it a little more up front acidity (2/3 El Zumo, 1/3 washed Kenyan). Either way this coffee is awesome.

Back for a third bag!

A really creamy and smooth espresso. Really strong red fruit flavours with that natural/stawberry hint. This one of my favourites
