“Stronghold is what I would describe as a classic espresso coffee. Bold and rich, with a real syrupy body that tastes great black or with milk. It’s roasted slightly darker too, delivering a more traditional flavour. A great starting point for brewing speciality coffee at home."

Director of Coffee

    Stronghold blend

    Really lovely coffee beans! The Origin Stronghold blend has a rich, smooth flavour with plenty of depth, without being too bitter or overpowering. The beans arrive fresh and beautifully packaged. Definitely my favourite, fantastic for making a latte. I can now get that bespoke coffee shop coffee in my own home whenever I like!
