General Comments...
A bright, clean and light bodied coffee with a sweet and slightly nutty aroma. A lovely zesty acidity and sweetness are complimented by clarity and balance in the cup.
Posted out a special Christmas gift package this week. Any body who has put on a pair of runners and fronted up to the start line will know of Collis Birmingham an Australian representative long distance runner. This guy runs fast and does not mind a brew when not clocking smoking PB's 5000m 13:10.97 10000m 27:29.73 .
