The Bean Cartel
Our everyday bean is the ‘El Capitán’
PNG, Brazil, Peru, Honduras.
A great all rounder that is easy to work with. El Capitán is an exceptional milk based coffee with a slightly strong flavour and a lingering spicy aftertaste. One of our most popular and classic blends.
Had a big group and everything came out together. Thank you
