Ditto to the James's Gourmet and Karimikui - a beautiful coffee, from one of the very best roasters.
It's a lovely idea to try coffee from all the world's great roasters. But, I've heard that flying coffee once it's roasted can do strange things to it (air pressure in cargo holds and all that jazz), and, together with what I imagine must be significant shipping costs, freshness, and transit miles issues, it might be best to try these roasters if ever you happen to be in their home countries... And in the meantime, simply take advantage of so many different, wonderful coffees that have been skillfully roasted more locally in the UK, by those various people mentioned above...  |

Roasting becames my passions.

You MUST definitely try brand new czech roastery: [url=]http://www.doubleshot.cz/?___store=en&___from_store=czDoubleshot[/url]
Their coffees are just amazing! Microlots, honey coffees, etc. perfect! |

It's slow going - had some James' Gourmet (Karamikui - yes, I agree, very nice - and La Laguna - lovely and fruity) and the four pack from Coffee Collective (I really really liked these, and arrived within a couple of days of roasting, so very impressive )
I'm not going to try all of those on the list - for a start, a lot of them don't offer international shipping or don't do mail order at all (assuming my Google translate is working well enough  ). But I'm looking forward to slowly expanding my experience of international roasters as well as trying lots more UK ones |

where could one obtain these offerings? saving on international shipping charges every now and then wouldn't be a bad thing really... |
