Why Colombian Huila coffee beans are so popular
Our Pure Colombian Huila coffee has become one of our best selling coffees. This blog explains some of the reasons Huila coffee is a popular choice.
There are few countries more famous for coffee production than Colombia. Coffee from Colombia is known for its rich, mild flavour which is a result of the perfect climate and beans that are grown. Colombia is one of the few countries that only grows Arabica beans, which besides climate and elevation, is why Colombian coffee is considered higher quality.

It’s the Great Taste that Makes our Signature Blend Special
In 2017 our Signature Blend was awarded one Gold Star in the prestigious Guild of Fine Food’s Great Taste awards. Signature Blend was our first coffee, so the award felt like a major endorsement of the focus we’ve had from the beginning on roasting coffee that tastes great. In this blog we’ve invited our resident coffee expert, Jonny, to tell you about the Great Taste awards and what the judges liked about our Signature Blend. Jonny is one of only two Q Grade qualified coffee graders in the UK, the highest qualification achievable for professional coffee tasters.
A guide to our different types of coffee
A journey through Spiller & Tait's different types of coffee
Something that sets Spiller & Tait apart from other UK coffee roasters is that we only offer a small range of freshly roasted coffee beans. The reason relates to our dedication to offering coffees which are balanced and rich in flavour, but lacking in bitterness. These are qualities we know are valued by most UK coffee drinkers and it means we have committed ourselves to only roasting coffees with these traits.
