Harborough coffee supplier praised for having one of the best tasting espresso blends

Craig Bosworth and Kerry Watson, directors at Jute.

A Market Harborough coffee supplier has been given the ultimate stamp of approval in the food and drink industry.

Great Taste, the world’s most coveted food and drink awards, has announced its stars of 2020 - and out of 12,777 products sent in, coffee supplier Jute was awarded a 2-star Great Taste award.

Judges praised Jute’s espresso blend for its ‘wonderful range of robust, round, deep fruit and caramel flavours’.

Judged by over 500 of the most demanding palates, Great Taste is widely acknowledged as the most respected food accreditation scheme for artisan and speciality food producers.

Founder Craig Bosworth said: ‘We’re thrilled that our espresso blend won two stars.

"We roast all of our coffee at our roastery in Market Harborough for wholesale customers and home delivery."

With no regard for branding and packaging, the judges go solely on taste to decide which products are worthy of a 1-, 2- or 3-star award. Fewer than 10 per cent of entries receive a 2-star award.
