I Ain’t Afraid Of No Roast
Caramel, Orange, Toffee Apple
A classical Colombian, just begging to be brewed as filter, V60 or Aeropress. Or any method really — it's juicy orange and cherry acidity works well as espresso too. Aside from the bright acidity, there’s also some depth and complexity too with caramel, toffee apple and the odd Bakewell aroma in there. Definitely not one to be afraid of.

Roaster notes
Argelia is a fairly remote southern part of Cauca state. These farmers live four hours from the main highway, across three valleys. This is a classic Colombian coffee; juicy, balanced and sweet.
Roaster
Old Spike is old in name only, their fresh approach to coffee means they’re the UK's first social enterprise, speciality coffee roastery. This means you can have your speciality coffee and help end homelessness too. 65% of their profits go towards directly supporting people experiencing homelessness. They first launched as a cafe and roastery space in London’s Peckham Rye — establishing themselves as the first speciality coffee roastery to operate as a social enterprise. Since then, they've continued to be at the forefront of using coffee as a vehicle for social change. Beyond helping closer to home, their approach to sourcing speciality grade coffee is based on the principles of direct trade, quality and seasonality. Win, win, win.
