    I am a big fan of Unorthodox’s stuff. Anything from East Africa tends to be up my alley - though I couldn’t quite place why - so I like to pick up a bag of whatever Unorthodox has from that region when I can

    Quite keen on Caora out on Skye too, but that’s tougher to get in my area

      I think Yellowcake from unorthodox might have been the first bag of fancy coffee I had. I still love naturals, so many interesting layers of flavours. Right now we’re taking a break from the expensive stuff for a bit, so I’ve just got some Taylors of Harrogate lazy Sunday beans, and I do two cups at once in the aeropress so it can’t get over-extracted.

        Oh, I should ask then: when dd you last buy a bag of that Taylor’s Sunday one, and do you think it has changed recently? It’s a staple for my dad and he swears something is different, but I don’t have a proper “before” frame of reference since I hadn’t had it in a while when he mentioned it

          It’s been a few years since I had it, but I think it is much as I remembered (?). Having said that, with the cost of coffee going up so much recently, I wouldn’t be surprised if the commodity brands like that are using different beans to keep the price from rising too much.
