Big and Bold Coffee Pairing
Posted by Lauren Scaroni on
Our coffee of the month Sumatra Gayo, is big and bold. It is full of body, with dark chocolate, dried cranberry and star anise notes. To complement this delightful coffee, you will need something equally strong in flavour. We love this simple Greek-inspired omelette for its smokey black olives, fetta cheese, caramelised onion and sweet fried tomatoes.
