Happy February!!
As much as I'm sad to see January go, I cant help but feel excited that it's one month closer to the "warmer" months.
Today's blog post is all about Williams Coffee Company
I've followed James on Instagram for a long while now, getting an incite to his life, and learning more about his coffee's, and how passionate he is about what he does.
So today (at long last!) I am finally typing up all about the wonderful, Strawberry S'mores.

The beans: Strawberry S'mores, Colombia, South of Tolima
Variety: Caturra
Process: Washed
Taste Notes: S'mores, Strawberry, Caramel
Producer: Astrid Medina
Cupping Score: 86
Described as "something for the filter lovers" I was straight on-board, although I had to wait until I came back from holiday to try it, it was worth the wait.
I first tried it as a V60

The recipe I used to brew:
Grind: Medium Fine
Grams: 19g
Water: 300ml
Time: 3 Minutes, 25 Seconds
Bloom: 55g, 28 Seconds
Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Floral aromas with hints of chocolate
Acidity: Tangy with a clean finish
Body: Light bodied, unlike the aeropress brew.
Flavour: Very fruity with slight syrup-y notes
I tried a few recipes through the aeropress with this coffee, and 19g definitely came out a winner,
I also brewed it as an Aeropress.
Grind: Slightly Finer Grind
Grams: 15g
Bloom: 25 Seconds
Time: 2 Minutes 35 Seconds
Plunge: 30 Seconds
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Fruity aromas with sour notes
Acidity: Sharp and sour, with a crisp finish
Body: A full bodied, with a lingering chocolatey taste
Flavour: Syrup-like caramel flavours, with chocolatey after taste
Overall, I much preferred the flavour notes from the Aeropress as I much rather a full bodied coffee, the taste profiles from each brew came out different each time, which is why I played around with the recipe so much so I could give out the best result that I tasted.
Not only does the company roast to order, but every time you buy a bag of coffee, they add 5p (or 25p for every KG) to their community fund.
