Hard Lines Coffee Christmas Blend Cold Brew Coffee Review
I'm starting off this blog with some local (ish) Coffee, all the way from Cardiff.
They are located in the famous Cardiff Market but, roast their coffee just a little bit up the road, opposite Castle Coch. They do have a few more locations, mainly around the Cardiff area, too.
Who am I talking about?
It's Hard Lines Coffee, of Course!
The Coffee
This Christmas, I had Hard Lines Coffee Christmas Blend called Nadolig Llawen (Translated to Merry Christmas).
The El Salvador and Colombia blended coffee has been washed with a Sticky Toffee Pudding favour.
Setup
After using my Setup, This is how it looks in the Hario:
It's more visible in person, but it almost has a slight reddish tint to it. kinda cool!
It was 162g of Hard Lines Coffee Christmas Blend to 1.3 litres of water.
I Then poured about 300ml into my Beast insulated cup (roughly to where the cup starts getting wider)
I then added a dash of water and gave it a go.
The Taste
Right away you get that nice toffee favour hit your mouth, and it's a little smooth. It also didn't feel like it was too sweet, as the taste was quite subtle. It isn't too strong either (so won't blow your face off) and it was a nice post-Christmas treat.
Considerations
For a 250g bag, the price was £13. It's without a doubt on the more expensive side but, it's a luxury Christmas spend.
The Score
Overall, I will give it 3 beans out of 5.
