I chose to purchase this coffee at the same time that I ordered Taylors of Harrogate’s Tim Peaks Coffee<\/a>. As I noted in my other review, Taylors of Harrogate sells their coffee in smaller bags than standard in the US (their bags are 120 grams in size, which is a bit over 4 ounces), so depending on how much coffee you drink, you may want to consider buying multiple bags at a time. However, their 120-gram sized bag was the perfect size for my coffee testing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whole bean: Fresh, clean aroma. These beans are very lightly roasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V60: I brewed this cup for 3:20 and it had an aroma filled with natural sweetness. It smelled as sweet as really ripe fruit – almost like candy, but without smelling artificial in any way. The flavor was was tea-like with subtle and delicate notes of lychee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AeroPress: While the Hario V60 cup was reminiscent in taste and texture of tea, this cup out of the AeroPress definitely tasted like a coffee. It had a thicker mouthfeel, though the flavors are still on the subtle side. This tasted of black grape with a dry white wine-esque finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chemex: Similar to the V60 cup but even sweeter and lighter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

French press: Creamy texture, but the flavor seemed very muted. I had poured a bit of coffee from my press after 4 minutes for this tasting, but I wasn’t happy with the relative lack of flavor so I kept steeping. After 6 minutes there was a bit more flavor but it was still not enough for my taste. I was afraid that if I left it much longer, it would extract objectionable notes from the beans, so I gave up after 6 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/strong>: I enjoyed this coffee most in the pourover methods (Hario V60 and Chemex). It is a coffee on the subtler side, one that whispers rather than shouts, but eminently enjoyable to linger over when you have a leisurely morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the roaster: White grape, lychee, passionfruit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This coffee is only available for shipping to UK addresses; Taylors of Harrogate roasts once a week on Tuesdays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
