Perfect as always, cant really add anything to my previous reviews other than I keep ordering it!
Brian R
This coffee is great in whatever format you purchase it in. Please keep blending it.
Brian R
Still a good coffee, can be a bit mold but counteract with using a bit more.
Brian R
Still a great coffee and a good price and also supports a worthwhile charity
Brian R
Continues to be a great coffee and always include it in an order.
Holly
Love this blend, it's mild-tasting to me. Gosh, though... saving turtles. Nothing can taste better than saving those beautiful creatures. Thank you, Coffee Real x
Brian R
Ordered both beans and Espresso grind and both have the same rich flavour. Pre ground was really useful when away from home and using the Aeropress

First time I have ordered this blend for a Cafetiere as well as ordering beans. Have not been disappointed. An ideal option when travelling (now that we can!)
Coffee Lover
A favourite and long may it continue.
Brian
We love this coffee so much have ordered 2kg this time. As well as the usual beans we have ordered some cafetiere grind for taking with us to self catering accommodation this spring.
Brian Rose
Having been so pleased with this coffee when first tried I ordered 1kg of bean this time. Just as good as before. Please keep roasting this as will stay on my order list.
John
Slightly light for my tastes but very nice flavour
Brian Rose
Another great coffee with great mouthfeel and a strong chocolate flavour. Nice to support a good cause whilst drinking good coffee. Will be on the shopping list again

A great cause and a great coffee ????????????

Walle

Flavorful blend that is light and delicate. Not the strongest bean but very clean

Tony Easton

This blend is on every order I place as it is my favourite on the Coffee Real menu. Rich and chocolatey it works when I make lattes or Cortados!

Will

Once this is dialled in correctly, this is a great coffee - really mellow and smooth with no bitterness at all but still lots of flavour.

Turtle-y Yummy

A yummy coffee. Quite complex brew not at all bitter and with a nice rich aftertaste - one of the nicest cups I’ve had in a long while. The fact that it’s for a great cause is a bonus. I’ll absolutely be buying more.

Ryan
Super tasty and takes milk well. Coffee Real never fail, and this coffee continues the trend. Brewed espresso, enjoyable start to finish.
Neil

A nice blend great flavour but a little light for a morning coffee.

Bob Grainger
Loved this one, very sweet with great depth. Brewed very well as an espresso.
Gerald
My new favorite! Very like the excellent coffees I had in Australia (Melbourne) this year. The first thing you notice is lack of overpowering strength but then you realise the flavours coming through. Nice balance of citrus too - again not over bright like some new blends from other roasters - another great blend from Gary and the team.
Keith
I have my favourites amongst the Coffee Real collection and this has joined them. It's got strength of flavour without biting. It's another that when you get to the bottom of the cup you go and make another. A lovely full rich brown flavour. Who'd have thought you could enjoy coffee and help little turtles at the same time?
Keith
I tried this for the first time last week and it gets 2 thumbs and 2 big toes up for flavour and Wow factor. A lovely rich brown mouth full of coffee flavour with a nice aftertaste. I never knew turtles taste so good !
Michael

This is a really tasty espresso, with the deep chocolate notes I like. It also seems to be a bit lighter on caffeine than most – at least, I seem to be able to enjoy it more often without it ruining my sleep.

Additional Information

All of the profit from this blend goes to the San Pancho Turtle Fund

While hunting for new coffees we generally stumble across conservation based projects and while in Mexico this year (2016/17) we stumbled across a conservation project called San Pancho Turtle which is working to increase the number of the Olive Ridley sea turtles in the wild.

What got us interested in supporting this conservation project is the fact that it is very small, non-commercial, totally run by volunteers and is struggling for funds.

It was started 25 years ago when a guy called Frank Smith, a retired forest ranger from California, first came to San Pancho.  He found that turtle meat was being sold / eaten locally, their flippers were being used to make cowboy boots and handbags and the turtle nests dug up and the eggs sold as delicacy.

Frank decided to move to San Pancho to help what he calls “the most passive creatures in the world and formed  Grupo Ecológico de la Costa Verde (San Pancho Turtle) – which is the conservation group he founded to help protect the turtles and their eggs.

From June to November (nesting season), Frank and his volunteers spend all night on the beach safeguarding the turtles as they lay their eggs, and between August and March, Frank and his volunteers can often be found on the beach in a homemade dune buggy, releasing baby turtle hatchlings into the Pacific.

Upon release most will not survive – those that do, return to the same beach from which they were released 11-16 years later.

Is this conservation project working?

In 1991 there were just 90 revisiting turtles – today that number is over 450.

You can now play a part in this conservation project by buying this coffee and with this increase in funds San Pancho Turtle can budget for and carry out the important work needed during the non-laying and laying season.
