Batch Coffee Review UK | Speciality coffee review of Origin Coffee, Cornwall, UK | Coffee roast

Acasia from Origin coffee is a delicious coffee sourced from Honduras. It is naturally processed which is a method that I am usually drawn to. Although naturally processed coffees can be a little hit and miss due to the fact that the farmers rely on the elements, some of my favourite ever coffees have been natural and I kind of like the happy go lucky nature of a natural.

First off, the fragrance of the unground coffee once opening the bag, gives off the classic stone fruit notes that are typical with natural coffees, alongside a hint of caramel. Upon grinding the coffee a couple of extra berry notes took shape.

The berry then rippled into the cup which carried some bold peachy flavours. I found when the coffee hits your mouth it has wonderful tropical fruity flavour which stays for some time then progresses to a berry aftertaste. The coffee is beautifully bright with some cheeky undertones of richer flavours.

The coffee was a pleasure to drink, 250 grams went too quick. I try and make each coffee with as many methods as possible, this one I used Aeropress, V60, Espresso and standard cupping. My preferred method for Acasia was Aeropress.

How We Review Coffee?

We receive coffees from roasters throughout the UK to taste and review. All of our coffee reviews are our own words and thoughts, we don’t receive any form of payment for any of our reviews.

Our coffee reviews always start with an introduction to each independent coffee roaster.

At Batch, we are all about celebrating the incredibly talented roasters that we have in the UK and telling their stories. Each one roasting the coffee slightly different.

We then explore the origin of the coffee and take a look at where the coffee has been grown and the process that it has gone through once it has been picked.

Every coffee growing origin has a different set of characteristics when it comes to the final cup, whether it’s fruity and floral or chocolatey and full the origin of speciality coffee is always celebrated.

The last part of our coffee review is what we tasted in the coffee. Speciality coffee has some incredible flavour notes (more than wine), some dark and rich while others on the opposite end of the flavour spectrum are light and fruity, we try and explain what we taste in the coffee however like with many complex tasting foods or drinks it is also down to perception and personal opinion.

So if we have tasted orange zest and you get watermelon then that is brilliant and what we think speciality coffee is all about (as long as you like the coffee).

We then score the coffee on attributes like body, aroma, sweetness and flavour. Some of the coffees you may then find in our coffee club voted the best coffee subscription in the UK by the Independent.
