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.

  • Arabica blend sourced from Colombia and Ethiopia.

Recipe Inspiration:
