A unique blend produced by World Coffees has been awarded a coveted 3 Star Gold award by the prestigious Great Taste Awards 2012. The winning entry, named Blend No 43, was judged by a panel of 350 of the nation’s most discerning food experts over 45 days.

World Coffees, a family run business based in Lindfield, roasts a range of premium Arabica coffee beans from around the world to supply discerning wholesale and retail customers.

To be awarded 3 Star Gold status by the Great Taste Awards is a significant achievement for any food or drink producer. The scheme, run by the Guild of Fine Food, has been described as the epicurean equivalent of the Booker Prize and in 2012 a total of 8,807 different food and drink products were entered.

World Coffees’ owner and managing director Jackie McGahan commented:

“World Coffees has won Great Taste awards in the past but this is the first time we have achieved the top accolade of 3 Star Gold status for a blend we created ourselves. This is a fantastic acknowledgement of our coffee roasting skills and expertise and confirms what our many satisfied customers already know – that our coffee is among the very best in a highly competitive industry.”
