Awards & Recognition

Madrigal Colombian Specialty Coffee — ★★ 2 Stars (Outstanding)

"Dark-roast beans and ground coffee. A lot of flavour packed into a smooth and silky mouthfeel with a lift at the end from a light acidity. Very well-balanced coffee." — Great Taste 2026 judges, table 2

"The grind aroma delivers on promise: chocolate and almond together with a herbal/lemon note. The cup smells sweet and fruity, with nectarine to mind — an enjoyable experience with green freshness and delicacy." — Great Taste 2026 judges, table 1

"The aroma presents with interesting tropical fruit characters, quite vibrant. The liquor aroma has red fruits, rose, lemon and hibiscus." — Great Taste 2026 judges, table 3

Villalba Black Lentils — ★ 1 Star

"These have retained their shape and texture well during cooking, and have lovely tender skins. Good, earthy flavour — the judges feel these are an excellent example of their type." — Great Taste 2026 judges, table 1

"Glossy black lentils, uniformly shaped and presented as a dry pulse. Once warmed, they have kept their shape, with a nutty earthiness and a good bite — a good product that would add substance to a sauce or salad." — Great Taste 2026 judges, table 3

"Good looking little lentils which have kept their shape admirably. The palate resilience is pleasing, and the relay of gently earthy, nutty flavours as suggested is certainly sound." — Great Taste 2026 judges, table 4
