Jaggy Loko is a very special coffee. Don’t take our word for it, the judges at the Great Taste Awards, the most prestigious of all coffee awards gave it two gold stars in 2019, saying:

“Good looking beans, individual varieties seem to have been roasted separately. We tasted it as espresso then with milk and the rich fruitiness is suddenly developed. Such a good chocolatey, malted biscuit finish.  You set out to create a great flat white and that’s exactly what you’ve done.”

The inspiration for Jaggy Loko came when we found its primary constituent, a lovely rich dark Colombian with the longest finish we’ve seen in a long time. A broker from The Hague tipped us off to a small consignment and we snapped it up straight away. We have since secured a regular supply of this lovely bean. We rounded out the top notes with a very smooth Sumatran Mandheling to counteract its tendency towards astringency and added some big high-grown Brazilian beans to make it more amenable to milk. Touches of Honduran and Mexican Arabicas complete the picture.

We named this Great Taste Award winning blend Jaggy Loko because something in the base notes of the Colombian reminded us of the coffee we drank on a diving holiday many years ago on a dive boat named Jaggy Loko. The coffee  was brewed in an old-fashioned long-handled coffee pot in the tiny galley of the boat. It was denser and darker than this but first thing in the morning, or just after a dive it tasted like Ambrosia.

Coffee good enough to change your day; the finest you can buy. Try it and see. This is the good stuff.
