THREE GOLD STARS, GREAT TASTE AWARDS 2021
“perfect balance…” “fruity with cherries and red fruits …” “glorious…” “long, long finish…” “transported to coffee heaven”
Amazing. The most coveted accolade; three gold stars at the Great Taste Awards. The judges described it as follows:
Great Taste Judges:
“Balanced. Fruity with cherries and a basketful of red fruits that fill the mouth in a glorious fashion. Clever roasting – all separately, all the same level of roast. This delivers perfect balance and a long, long finish and when milk was added, we found ourselves transported to coffee heaven. Such skilled blending into a coffee that will always please.”
“There’s an excellent light touch here with the different profiles working well together to produce a delicious, light fruity note. Milk rounds off all the flavours beautifully.”
Torero is a serious coffee. It’s exceptionally good. The flavour is REALLY big and immediate, it’s strong in caffeine and it’s delicious any way you serve it. This is a darker roast than any other Dreambeans blend, so be ready for a change if you’re used to our medium roasts. It might take you a little while to adjust. Whether you drink it black, white, espresso or long, Torero always delivers its flavour. If the truth be told, we based this coffee on the espresso we used to drink al banco in a fantastic little bar in Milan when a friend lived there years ago. It’s a long time ago but the flavour was so memorable we blended, cupped and tasted until we got it right.
Torero is so full of flavour that we use a little less coffee per cup than with other Dreambeans blends. We reduced the dose from 18g to 16g in our espresso machines and we use a little less in a French press or Moka Pot. Be prepared to play around a little with this to find the sweet spot for your taste. It’s worth doing.
