White Rose Coffee Roasters Brazil Bourbon Yellow Cold Brew Coffee Review

For all the different types of Coffee I have tried, The Brazil Bourbon Yellow is one of the best but, it's always hard to find.

However, after having a look around various places, the award-winning White Rose Coffee Roasters actually had The Brazil Bourbon Yellow. It was like finding a Shiny in a pack of football stickers, so I had to buy it.

This Brazil Bourbon Yellow from White Rose Coffee Roasters didn't officially have a strength score, however it is a Medium roast (so I'm expecting around a 3) with 84 Fruity and full-bodied with grape and deep chocolates.

I purchased the bigger 1 kg of Beans, so I could experiment with the Coffee per ration. I found 156g of coffee to 1.3 litres of water did the trick.

Then added cold tap water, ready to start my 12-hour (plus 2 hours after a stir) brew:

Look at that lovely foam on top. 

The taste

This was the first time I used my Custom Cheese Filter that went into the Hario Filter (double filter action) so that I can reduce the coffee sludge.

Then, after storing it in the fringe overnight, it looks really nice.

Again, after pouring it into the Beast insulated cup, I worked out you only needed about 50ml of Water to the 300ml of coffee to dilute it.

Time for tasting and right away, the pure smoothness of the Bourbon Yellow is right there.  It's not massively strong (without a doubt a 3 strength) but it's so tasty and smooth you want to keep on drinking it. 

What you don't really taste any Bourbon, so don't worry about that, and at the end of each sip you can almost taste that chocolate taste.

Considerations

It's £14.78 for 1 kg per bag and £3.90 for p+p which is around £18.68. This makes quite a few cups, and sub £20 for this coffee is absolutely fantastic.


The Score

Overall, I will give it 4 beans out of 5.

Hard Lines Colombia El Carmen Cold Brew Coffee Review

The Colombia El Carmen from Hard Lines, located in my home city of Cardiff, was calling out to me. Why? Cherry Bakewell favoured. I have not had a washed coffee since my first review and was very eager to taste it. Another Local Coffee for the Local people With 14 hour Cold Brewing Period in my Bodum Cold Brew Coffee Maker, The Colombia El Carmen from Hard Lines came out exactly as i expected. A very smooth, not so strong but tasted of a Cherry Bakewell. There wasn't much extra water needed to dilute it as it came out perfect, and it can be drank black, which is always a winner. The price per 250g was £11.50, which is a bit on the expensive side. However, if you want a treat and mix it up a little from the norm, this is certainly worth a try. I shall give The Colombia El Carmen from Hard Lines 4 out of 5 Beans 🫘

Asda Extra Special Brazilian Roast & Ground Cold Brew Coffee Review

 Whenever I go shopping, I go down the Coffee aisle, as you never know what you might find. The  Asda Extra Special Brazilian Roast & Ground Coffee caught my eye and I had to give it a try With a higher strength of 4, the dark medium roast has a nutty note. Setup of the Asda Extra Special Brazilian Roast & Ground Coffee This is already ground coffee so no need to grind it and as it's a stronger coffee, I put 160g of it in the Bodum: Then added cold tap water, ready to start my 12-hour (plus 2 hours after a stir) brew: The Taste After storing in the fridge in the Hario: It was time to pour my usual 300ml into my Beast Cup: What I found is that it wasn't as strong as I thought but, was a little sharp.  So after popping in a bit of water, I found the optimal ratio was 300ml coffee concentrate to 50ml water . That was enough to remove the sharpness and give off a slight hint of nut showing. Still, it wasn't as strong as it claimed but, it was just about drinka...
