A blend of Latin American and African beans dark roasted to level 5. There's a lack of character here. There's nothing interesting or exciting, but it's a drinkable coffee. Between this and the Starbucks Caffe Verona, I prefer the Verona as it was smoother and more flavoursome. This one is similar, but is a little crude, has too much bitterness for my taste, and is fairly dull.
Cafedirect is a Scottish based coffee and tea distribution organisation that buys direct from growers, reinvests in growers, and has a majority of growers as shareholders. It was formed in 1989.

Fudge, burnt toffee, creamy toffee, burnt toast, dark chocolate. It's certainly a rich flavour, pushing at the edges of aggressive, but holding back so that it is a drinkable and reasonably smooth coffee. Strength 5 means that it is really dark. At the reduced price I find it acceptable, but I wouldn't pay the full price for this, which is usually around £3.50 for 227g.
