I’ve had my first tastes today of the newest coffee from the Operation Cherry Red project via James’ Gourmet Coffee. I was monstrously excited about this one, as word was it was similar to the first and oh so exciting coffee that I tried from OCR back in 2008-9, and used in my first year of barista competition. It has been described as ‘crazy’ ‘ridiculous’ and ‘amazing’. It is! I had to play around with this a little to get it right …but then Wow! Fantastic, mental coffee. It was like being transported back in time two years as well – albeit to somewhere rather different!
Meanwhile at the plan, the selection of coffees I’m predominantly using for espresso currently offer varying shades of summery, floral, citrusy, soft-fruity juiciness. Perfect for our classic British summer.
