Cavalier Specialty Coffee

Claimed

Market Lane Bolivia batch was clean chocolate and apricot - real nice I’m loving the large variety of quality beans available to buy.

Costa Rican from Paradox for the espresso started red apples and ended more toffee based - sweet and clean. The batch was blueberry laden and beautifully balanced

The espresso on a washed Ethiopian from Ickle was amazing, an orange/yuzu mouth explosion with a smooth mouthfeel. Moreish milk chocolate to the Columbian batch

Five senses beans are used which most are very familiar with. Nice flavour profile, but nothing distinct. Slightly fruity with no bitterness. Well poured coffee with blah service by the man. No real atmosphere really. A good coffee but not amazing.

Washed Ethiopian espresso from Five Senses was a deliciously bright cup with sweet citrus acidity wrapping around green grapes.

Stitch from Guatemala for a batch had a lovely balance of lime acidity and rounded fruitiness. Double espresso was also a banger with a rich stone fruit feel.

Refreshing fruity quality to the Five Senses Ethiopian batch. Clean tea-like quality to the Colombian batch from Stitch

Market Lane Guatemalan batch was nutty and dark chocolate

Espresso on a natural Columbian from Five Senses - sour cherry becoming more sweet strawberry - really enjoyed Batch on a natural Ethiopian from Double Tap - balanced cup with a nice orange aspect. Also grabbed some Gesha beans from Ickle (new roaster to me). Bean selection here has expanded recently, which is great.

Made of Many PNG batch had a caramelised roundness with something like black currants poking through. Five Senses Ethiopian espresso had an initial molasses sweetness then turned towards that slightly bitter note of toffee
