Mine was this classic with the Eldar section in it. Bought on a whim on a holiday, en route to France when I'd finished my book, and I must've read it cover to cover dozens of times before I got back to Scotland. I then went back and bought a bunch of earlier back issues, of course.

Ooh, a delightful treat was waiting for me when I got home from a long day at school!
Thanks @starsandsabers.bsky.social ! Can't wait to dive in.

Final day of my #PactCoffeeAdventCalendar
La Manzana, Honduras
Yumbo! Very tasty (and sustainably grown, too). I disagree with the tasting notes, though: I'm not getting any orange at all. I'm getting an appley afternote though, perhaps unsurprisingly given the name!

It's Christmas Eve... There's no need to be afraid...
Because here's Day 24 of my #PactCoffeeAdventCalendar.
Kibirizi, Rwanda
Very nice. Syrupy, slightly sweet, light, but not really acidic at all. Very much my jam.

Buenos Aires Cenicafe 1, Colombia
Another solid Colombian medium roast. Definite chocolate notes, tasty, but nothing spectacular.

Day 22 of my #PactCoffeeAdventCalendar
Muthewathi, Kenya
Not a fan of this one. Too acidic. Had to add a lot of milk to make it drinkable. Not getting any of the blackcurrant or sweet berry notes.

Day 21 of my #PactCoffeeAdventCalendar
San Carlos, El Salvador
Very interesting flavour, bright and sharp, apparently down to the anaerobic fermentation. Lovely for a single cup, but not something I think I'd drink a lot of.

Caught up with my #PactCoffeeAdventCalendar: day 20.
Samuel's Coffee, Colombia
First few sips weren't dazzling, but the fruity notes are quite subtle and they build. Not bad.

Sitio de Jaja, Brazil
Very rich, dark and chocolatey. A bit too dark for me to drink black, but with milk added some alchemy occurs and it tastes both like dark chocolate and cream. Yum.

A day late with Day 18 of my #PactCoffeeAdventCalendar
Fugi, Rwanda
Ready or not, here it comes, you can't hide...
Oh yes. This is up there with my favourites. Light, refreshing, but also a little creamy and definite blackcurrant notes at the top. Veeeery nice.

Finca Monterrey, El Salvador
Nice enough coffee, though once again not getting any of the notes. Interestingly it tastes nicer / smoother accompanying my cereal (which is a surprisingly bitter gluten-free granola).

Day 14 of my #PactCoffeeAdventCalendar
Fazenda Reis, Brazil
Smooth, creamy, chocolatey and very, very drinkable.
This was a sneaky one, at first taste it was just OK, but it's got a lovely aftertaste that builds with each sip.

Ooh, hello. This morning's #PactCoffeeAdventCalendar is a good one. Day 13, lucky for some! 😂
Thunguri, Kenya.
Light, hints of blackcurrant and citrus, but also smooth and syrupy. Very nice!

Mmm, nice. 😁 Really enjoy the slightly bittersweet blackcurrant notes. Clearly coffees with red fruit notes are my jam.

Day 11 of my #PactCoffeeAdventCalendar
Rabanales White Honey, Guatemala
I was worried, as the notes said "lime" acidity, and the last one of those was minging. But this is nice. There's a subtle sweetness to it, and quite a complex aftertaste.
(Yes, I'm late today; this morning was too rushed).

A very smooth, creamy coffee this morning. I'm having it with milk, but it genuinely tastes like I've added cream. Very nice, decadent.

Very nice. Definitely getting the dark chocolate and mandarin notes (which paired nicely with this morning's porridge + marmalade).
During lockdown I systematically tried different regions of coffee: Colombia always delivered.

Agua Caliente (which means hot water, right?), El Salvador
After yesterday's horror show, this is nice, and I'm getting the notes of chocolate and shortbread (and I wish I had some chocolate shortbread to have with it).

Day 6 of my #PactCoffeeAdventCalendar
El Aguacate Natural, Honduras.
I am not a fan of this one. First real misfire for me. The card describes the acidity as lime, I'd say closer to vinegar. It's super acidic. Not undrinkable, but not for me.
