Our Test Batch Special is a carefully balanced blend of Arabica beans from Brazil, Costa Rica and Indonesia. Created for those who enjoy the slow rhythm and quiet drama of test cricket, it brings together the richness and patience of the long game.
Expect a sweet and complex cup with a smooth, velvety body. As an espresso, it offers bright berry and stone fruit aromas. With milk, it softens into mellow notes of vanilla and milk chocolate.
This is coffee for early starts, long sessions and well-earned breaks. Whether you are following the match from the stands or the sofa, Test Batch Special is made for brewing through all five days.

Need helping with buying beans or the right grind type?
We can supply the grind type to match your brewing method:
- Whole Beans - Perfect if you have a grinder or a bean-to-cup machine. Grinding fresh at home helps preserve the aroma and flavour for the best possible cup.
- Espresso / Moka Pot (Fine Grind) - Ideal for espresso machines and stovetop moka pots, producing a rich, intense coffee with crema.
- Filter / V60 / Aeropress (Medium Grind) - A medium grind suited to pour-over brewers, Aeropress, and most filter coffee machines, giving a clean, balanced cup.
- Cafetiere (Coarse Grind) - A coarse grind designed for French press brewing, allowing the grounds to steep properly without over-extracting.
If you’re still unsure which grind is right for your setup, just send us a quick message - we’ll help you choose the perfect option for your brewing style.
