Tesco Colombian Coffee

Creamy mouthfeel. Toast flavours, and a moderate amount of acidity. A sort of all round coffee that doesn't have much individual character, but is clean and drinkable with flavours and mouthfeel that are quite attractive.

Bought in Tesco for £2.00 for 227g. The coffee comes from beans grown on the foothills of the Andes. Soft, does not have much impact. Some acidity, some powder, gentle bittering. A little crude. Late burnt toast notes. It has some character, and while crude is smooth enough. It grows on me as something that's OK. Good for the money.

CafeDirect Exceptional Everyday Tea

£2.59 for 80 bags (80 "lovely bags" according to the box!). Available in most supermarkets. 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.

This is a decent cup of tea. Bright, refreshing, unfussy.  There's no character here, but it's very drinkable. It does  whjat it says on the box. It's a a good everyday cup of tea that you could serve to anyone. I'd be happy to buy this again.
