Here in Mid Wales, we’re lucky. Our upland springs and reservoirs naturally provide water that is clean, balanced, and positively suited to specialty coffee. It’s soft enough to preserve delicate flavours, yet naturally mineral-rich enough to support a full-bodied, satisfying extraction.

The “best” brewing method depends on what you enjoy — bold and intense, clean and bright, or smooth and easy-drinking. Each method extracts flavour differently, highlighting different characteristics of the same beans.

Not all coffee is created equal. When specialty coffee shops talk about “high-quality coffee,” they aren’t just bragging — there are clear factors that determine whether a bean delivers an exceptional cup.
