Whole Coffee Beans

Smiths of London Banquet Coffee Beans is a premium Arabica espresso blend crafted for a strong, full-bodied cup with a smooth, clean finish. Sourced from Colombia and Ethiopia, the beans are carefully selected and roasted to deliver depth of flavour without the bitterness or burnt notes often associated with darker roasts.

The result is a well-balanced coffee with medium acidity, a rich body and a rounded profile featuring notes of dark chocolate, caramel and nuts. It produces a satisfying, consistent brew that works well throughout the day, whether prepared as espresso or through a cafetière. The clean mouthfeel and lingering finish make it particularly suited to those who enjoy coffee without milk or sugar, allowing the flavour to come through clearly.

Key Features:

  • 1kg bag of whole coffee beans.
  • Arabica blend sourced from Colombia and Ethiopia.
  • Roasted for a full-bodied, smooth espresso.
  • Flavour profile: dark chocolate, caramel and nuts.
  • Medium acidity with a clean finish.
  • Suitable for espresso machines and cafetières.

Recipe Inspiration:

  • Use these beans to prepare a classic espresso, where the rich body and chocolate notes come through clearly in a concentrated shot.
  • They work well in a cafetière, producing a fuller, rounded cup with a smooth texture and balanced flavour.
  • Brew as a longer coffee such as an americano, allowing the caramel and nutty notes to develop more gently.
  • They can also be used for iced coffee, where the bold flavour holds up well when chilled and served over ice.
