Espresso Blend

The original Sample blend! Served black, it has flavours of dark chocolate and cherry ripe. With milk, it reminds us of Malteser, cherry and vanilla.

Pacemaker is our house blend, sweet with lots of body and originally designed to suit milk coffees (but also delicious when had without).

Served with milk, we find notes of Malteser, cherry and vanilla. Served black, there are hints of dark chocolate, and cherry ripe.
