We're tucked into a little nook in Monmouth Coffee Company (Monmouth St in Covent Garden) and drinking delicious brew as we read the 6 page menu (that also serves as mission statement and newsletter). Each coffee receives tasting notes and a paragraph describing the source and cultivation. Monmouth is dedicated to roasting sustainable fairtrade coffee from "single farms, estates, and cooperatives around the coffee growing world." They visit the source and taste the coffee on site.
I choose a cup of Na Bagak Bagak, described as fresh tobacco leaf. I adore all smokey drinks, from laphroaig scotch to lapsang suchong tea, and this Sumatran cup of joe has easily earned a place in my heart.
