Our Customers have Great Taste!

Monsoon Estates was awarded gold stars for 4 of their coffees at this years National Great Taste Awards. We are simply over the moon! It is a fantastic result as only 2.9% of all entrants were awards 2 gold stars and we got 3 of them! A fourth coffee was also awarded gold!

This is our 3rd year entering the competition with previous wins in 2012 and 2013 and we are delighted with the results this year. We entered some of our customer’s favorites and it would be fair to say that they have GREAT TASTE!

How does it all work?

Over 400 judges, including 40 specially trained food writers inputting judges’ comments, come together at 50 judging days from April through to mid-July including a week in Belfast, specialist test centres for tea, filter coffee and espresso, with the remainder done at Guild HQ in Dorset. The judges, from all corners of the food world, blind-taste in teams of 4 or 5 ensuring we get a balance of expertise, age and gender.
