I went for the 12 week “in my cup” sub. Different one each week, some you’ll love instantly some need to grow on you. Out of 24 that have dropped through my door so far theres only one packet I didn’t want to finish.
We keep the empty packs we like best (and sometimes draw a smiley face on the ones that really stand out)and at the end of a sub buy half a dozen of whatever ones we liked most that are still available. Then we take another sub when those run out.
The ones we re-ordered from our latest sub are Kenya Karatina AA, El Finca Retiro Bourbon 2012 and the obscenely expensive but punch-the-air gorgeous Costa Rica La Pira Tirrazu 2012 (typing all that I feel like I’m announcing the winners at Crufts). We have our coffee black and seem to get on best with anything that mentions ‘toffee’ or ‘caramel’ on the tasting notes.
Christ. When did I come such a ponce.
