Great Taste Awards Two Stars for Cinco Jalisco.

 Cinco Jalisco Wins Two Gold Stars at the 2025 Great Taste Awards!

We’ve got some fcool news to share! Our newest blend, Cinco Jalisco, has just been awarded Two Gold Stars at the 2025 Great Taste Awards, the most respected and rigorous food awards in the world!

The Great Taste Awards are often called the “Oscars of the food world,” judged blind by panels of top chefs, buyers, writers, and coffee experts. To earn even one star is something special, but Cinco Jalisco brought home two.

Here’s what the Great Taste Judges Had to Say

The expert judges praised the blend for its balance, complexity, and flavour craftsmanship. Here’s just a taste of their feedback:

“Big notes of muscovado and tropical fruits… very approachable… excellent blend… clever coffee.”*

“Sweet fruity nose… brown sugar sweetness… rich milky chocolate note. A delicious coffee that’s intelligent and unexpected.”*

“Balanced and full… clever crafting and flavour harmonies.”*

“Complex… beautifully crafted… a really enjoyable product.”*

We’re humbled and delighted that our hard work, and our obsession with balance and flavour—has been recognised on such a prestigious stage.

So What Makes Cinco Jalisco Special?

Cinco Jalisco was created by Greenbean’s Master Roaster Pat Grant with a clear goal in mind: bold flavour, a great caffeine kick, and absolutely no bitterness. It’s a coffee that stands up to a strong brew but remains smooth, elegant, and full of character.

It’s also a true blend in the best sense of the word—made from five origin beans that come together in harmony:

* Pacamara from the Sierra Madre del Sur, Jalisco, Mexico – the star of the show, grown high on the slopes by a new generation of farmers after a devastating rust outbreak in 2012. It’s complex, aromatic, and ultra-smooth.
* Rwandan Yellow Bourbon – for rich chocolate depth.
* Ethiopian Sidamo – bright and citrusy, giving a clean spike.
* Brazilian Daterra – smooths and lengthens the chocolatey finish.
* Sumatran Mandheling – for body and warmth.
* Finca Muxbal (Mexico) – lifts the flavour and refines the overall cup.

We’ve tested and tasted this blend endlessly to strike the right balance between bite and mouthfeel. Whether you like your coffee black (Americano or espresso) or with milk, Cinco Jalisco delivers bags of flavour without ever crossing into bitterness.

And yes, it packs a solid caffeine punch too—ideal first thing in the morning or for that much-needed afternoon lift.

Winning this award means a lot, but what means even more is sharing this coffee with you—our community of home brewers, coffee lovers, and flavour seekers. Cinco Jalisco is available now on our website, and we think you’ll agree: it’s a little bit special.
