Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Colombian Quinchia Community Fairtrade Ground Coffee





Chocolate and deep red berries dominate the flavour in this smooth and pleasant coffee. It finishes with a twist from a lime acidity to a roasty bitterness than stops just short of powdery and harsh. It's an acceptable coffee that doesn't display its character dramatically, so can serve as an easy everyday coffee for most drinkers. That finish, though, has the potential to put some people off.

Colombian coffee is regarded by many as among the best, if not the best, in the world. Since 2011 the coffee growing area has been a World Heritage Site.  Quinchia is a town in the Risaralda area, which is part of the main coffee growing area. The coffee is grown, harvested and sun dried on a small scale using methods used for over 100 years.  Sainsbury's say the coffee has treacle toffee and toasted almond flavours.
