Best coffee I have had on my many rides around the Pennines. Very balanced blend with chocolatey taste. Very strong without being acidic. Leagues ahead of the watered down fare …

Took a novice a ride, hence the lower speed. It hailed on us, very cold but still somehow enjoyed being out on the bike ! Predominately Zone 1 ride.
