Roast Records 023 - La Lapa
Different one, as I got this coffee for free. A roastery located in Townsville, Australia, located by the famous strand. I have family over in Townsville, so after my mother came home from visiting, she brought me home some coffee.

The coffee
To begin, this coffee is a strict hard bean, which means the coffee is harder to grind, but this happens due to the coffee absorbing more nutrients during a longer growth cycle. This coffee is roasted medium to dark.
The taste notes are a heavy dark chocolate and a stone fruit. Best as a long black or in a milk beverage like a latte or flat white. This maybe due to the darker roast profile or the hard coffee bean.
A bit about Chubby Magpie
I couldn't find much on the Chubby Magpie roastery. They are a roastery, cafe and brunch spot by the famous strand in Townsville, East Coast, Australia.
They have a very interesting take on coffee, and that's what makes them great. Being located in a beautiful place surrounded by amazing people.
Summery
To finish, this is a very classic coffee, a bit tough to grind with my hand grinder and a bit of a darker cup. Best as an espresso-based drink.
Priced at a very reasonable £34.72 a kg or AUD-64.00. Hard to get in this country, but for the Australians, please check them out.
