Coffee is a pretty serious business in our house. We don’t have just any old beans in the cupboard. I love trying out different varieties, different countries and roasters but I don’t always have time to go and find something I haven’t tried before. So when the guys from Blue Coffee Box got in touch to see if I’d like to try out their coffee it sounded right up my street!
Each month you get three different coffees delivered through your letterbox and the packaging is just lovely. I noticed that everything, other than the coffee bags which are foil lined, was made from paper or card so it could be easily recycled. As you can imagine, the smell when you open the box is just heavenly.
You can choose the grind of coffee you want depending on how you make your coffee at home; our fancy coffee machine only accepts espresso ground so it was great to be able to get the right size needed.
I really like the clean, simple packaging and the information cards that are sent through for each type so you can find out about the coffee you’ve got. The three I tried were from El Salvador, Peru and Guatemala. On the cards you can find out what the coffee tastes like, who roasted it, the variety(ies), the altitude it was grown at and a little story about each of the coffee growing farms. For example the Guatemalan coffee (Red de Mujeres) is grown by a large group of female coffee growers; the Peruvian coffee (Tunki) is grown in the Andes without pesticides and chemicals and the coffee from El Salvador (Finca Bosque Lya) is grown on a farm which is two thirds dedicated to coffee and one third natural rainforest.

I am a tea drinker :-)) Good luck to all the coffee fans!
Wish I was in the UK to try the blue coffee box, it sounds like a great coffee. I get a monthly granola box that I love in Canada and it is made right here in my city. These boxes are fun.
Has to be a digestive biscuit a drinks too wet without one 🙂
A slice of cake.
That Blue Box Coffee sounds amazing! I love a good cup of coffee in the morning, and I’m actually sitting here drinking a cup right now. Wish I was in the UK so I could enter this one! 🙂
I love a good cup of coffee in the afternoon with a buttery crumpet! Delicious!
Blue Coffee box sounds right up my street! Toast with olive oil and tomatoes with a coffee is a reminder of my time living in Spain. Heaven!
I love Blue Coffee Box and would love to sample some more frankly!

You can’t beat a good cup of coffee!!

I love the stories behind the coffee! In this day and age, there’s no excuse not to shop our products responsibly. This kind of coffee business makes that easy!
Wish we lived in the UK :). Happy weekend lady!

I love coffee. After dinner with a lovely chocolate mint is my favourite
A slice of Carrot Cake
Has to be a plain digestive for me
I would so do this here if I could get beans delivered once a month. It saves us the hassle of going to get them, and offers something new each month. Such a great idea!
A croissant 🙂
A digestive biscuit
Biscuits, I bloomin love them, but if someone wants to make me a Victoria Sponge Cake I’m willing to eat it.
Stroopwafel, cookie, bread blah blah. Everything is good with coffee 😉
Got to say I am a bit of an addict to chocolate cookies with my cup of coffee 🙂
A chocolate biscuit or maybe just a bar of chocolate itself
A slice of chocolate cake – oh yeah!
