Product Overview
Lucid Coffee Roasters are our first feature roaster in the new 'Coffee of the Month' series. This series aims to bring you wonderful & wild flavour experiences. Some of the coffees will be from origins you would expect to see in coffee competitions and some will hopefully be new origins to tick off the bucket list. One thing is for sure, all these coffees will be undeniably tasty!
