I always enjoy the coffee when I'm in Spain I've just ordered a kilo of these beans from "Orce Serrano"...
It's got 20% Torrefacto roast in the mix.
Anyone know if there any Roasters in the UK that do the occasional batch of Torrefacto or will I always have to send to Spain for it?
Just in case you're not familiar with the Torrefacto beans, it refers to the method of roasting rather than the bean itself. The beans are sprayed with a sugar solution at some point in the roasting process and it caramelises on the bean to give a very distinctive flavour. I don't know if this process needs special equipment or if independent roasters just don't want to risk gumming up their kit with syrup.
Any info would be appreciated.
