Are you a coffee addict? Are you traveling around the world, tasting different coffees? Then this article might be useful for you if you are planning to visit the UK any time soon.
Although Brits might be known for drinking mostly tea, this hasn’t stopped the growth of the coffee culture across the nation. Each year, tons of coffee shops are opening their doors, with some of the World’s Barista Champions. It is clear that there is more to the UK’s caffeine fix beyond regular chain-café coffee and here is a list of the best across the UK.
Birmingham – Quarter Horse Coffee
What makes this place so special is that you can see the roasting process in action. Coffee beans are coming from places such as Colombia and Guatemala and are roasted weekly for maximum freshness.
