Thank you, I will do, but won't be home for ?? months, so will wait till I'm back and can try it!!

Address is in Plagne Centre, La Plagne Tarentaise, 73210 The one I tried was expensive but I had highh hopes of it

Equally, good chance some friends will be coming out for the season so could post to them in the uk - I'm aiming to be home before December. Hoping my arm agrees!!!

Shipping to you would cost £9.61 - I think.

Delicious. Absolutely delicious.


I've had a tough day but will definitely be cancelling my dog and hat subscription and picking up a subscription with Waveney Valley.

Happy for me to recommend on Facebook?

What did you think to the roasts? We don't murder the beans, and hope that people can actually taste the benefit of avoiding this all too common practice...

I had a bag of Lavazza (still got the dregs of it) and used it to compare with Wratty's. I like a lighter roast and the difference in look, aroma and, most importantly, taste, was overwhelming. Less overly roasted bitterness, more complex, lighter floral notes.

Yeah, but you only pay him minimum wage and there's always someone else willing to take the job.

I'm pleased people are getting it, there was a time where the trend was for under-roasted, then it flipped to what people perceive as the deep French or darker still the Italian roast, mostly, it's been taken too far - hence the deep bitterness. It also lacks caffeine, the darker you roast, the more you drive off. There are some beans that can take a deeper roast, and we can and do roast some deeper, if people want. Generally, a mid, to mid/dark is where the best flavour is found, without the harsh bitterness that comes with just about setting fire to the beans (yes it does happen to - roaster fires are not uncommon and a bit of a fucker - they can destroy your roaster)
