Roast Records 017 - Guest by Arked Coffee
A relatively new roastery backed by unique, interesting branding. Arked Semily came out of nowhere with their cute mascot. A well-balanced coffee with lots of room for improvement. Let's jump in and discover this one !!!!

Extraction
Guest is a anaerobic natural from Colombia which in 2026 has become really popular. I tried this coffee first in a pour-over and honestly I did not like it, I think is partly my fault as reading the bag I thought it would be perfect for this method.
After I switched to the trusty flat white, my reaction was as plain as "that's better"; the milk complements the flavour notes and high acidity.
I am not the biggest fan of red current prominent coffees, and this is exactly that – adding a subtle brown sugar sweetness on the finish.
Arked History
Stared in June 2026, so really new, this company would not leave my for you page on all social media platforms. Founded by three rugby league players: Ronan Michal, Joe Keyes and Ethan Ryan are located in the small town of shipley, west yorkshire.
Another roastery to keep an eye on, as their branding is some of the best I have seen, and they have the right formular to make it big just need to refine there coffees. Very excited!!!!!
Colmination
To end, Guest is an okay coffee, not one I would pick up, but I'm glad I got to try it, but Arked as a brand and Collective is one on my list for the future, as I am in love with the mascot. (Make plusies my girlfoired would go feral.)
Priced low at £34.95 a kg, making this an affordable anaerobic natural which is not that common.
