How it Tastes

This is a very high quality coffee, with a broad range of both interesting and satisfying flavour notes, the most discernible of which for me is custard creams.

It's important to note if you're new to coffee tasting, that when we're talking about taste notes, we're talking about fairly subtle flavours, and it's very subjective.

Don't worry too much if you don't agree with my particular taste descriptors, it's very common for people to not concur exactly with taste notes on coffee, as taste is a subjective thing.

The important thing is, do you enjoy it? If so, great, put it on subscription to make sure you don’t run out, and save 15% too :-). If not, each to their own, we have lots of other lovely coffees for you to try.

La Bastilla Farm

La Bastilla coffee farm is located around 20 kilometers from Jinotega, in the stunning tropical paradise of the Cerro Datanli El Diablo Nature Reserve, an extremely important biodiverse protected habitat.

The farm is situated in a unique microclimate, with an abundance of natural shade-providing trees, volcanic soil and a natural biodiversity which results in exceptional quality coffee with distinctive qualities.

La Bastilla became Rainforest Alliance certified in 2003 and maintains an ongoing program for continuous improvement.

As smooth as it gets

I thought light roast is weak and usually avoid it. I'm glad I gave this a go. It's my number one coffee beans at the moment. Upon first taste, the one word came up to my mind is smooth. Will definitely be put in my subscription list. But it'll have to wait until I try every single coffee this website has to offer. None of them has been disappointing.

Really prompt delivery and great packaging. Freshest beans making super crema.
Just make sure that you have a grinder capable of dealing with light roast beans and take your time dialling in - i increased brew temperature to 95.

Excellent coffee. Loved it. Coffeeworks hasn't disappointed me so far. In fact I have been very happy so far. Even the decaf I ordered by mistake tasted really good.
