GOLD
West Berkshire Roastery, Signature Gold– “I particularly enjoyed West Berkshire Roastery’s Signature Gold blend as the flavour was strong with the chocolaty notes but not overwhelmingly sweet.”
Small Batch Coffee Roasters, Goldstone Espresso– “This is super smooth, delivering a medium bodied coffee that is tasty, sweet with notes of berry and full of flavour. I cannot exaggerate enough how smooth this coffee is – absolutely delicious!
Pennington’s Tea & Coffee, Lakeland Blend– “I thoroughly enjoyed this option with the strong flavour coming out during the brewing process. It is full-bodied with strong chocolate undertone and an excellent choice for those that enjoy a chocolaty nutty flavour.”

GOLD
Mavrik Cuban Mojito– “This bursts with lime, mint and rum smells and flavours. Nice toasted sugar notes give this mojito an authentic feel. Dress with mint and serve with ice and this drink hits all the right Cuban notes!”
L.A Brewery Citrus Hops – “The acidic notes from the fermentation balance well with the lime and hops, creating an adult drink that is a perfect alternative to a beer. Perfect for tap rooms, bottle shops and places that pride themselves on quality craft drinks.”
Real Drinks, Peony Blush Sparkling Tea – “Subtle berry notes give way to a soft, rounded, almost buttery flavour on the tongue with this drink, and the slight acidic notes from the fermentation make this perfect to go with food. It is also a very sippable drink, with natural speedbumps that slow you down.”
