Experts’ choice
The expert team at Carruthers & Kent has picked out another fantastic bottle for late summer evenings in the sun – this Brut Elite Rose Cuvée 1801 from House of Arras in Tasmania. Normally £45.99, on offer for a limited time at £41.99, at Carruthers & Kent, www.carruthersandkent.com
Shop ‘til you drop
There’s always something exciting to pick up at PureKnead (alongside a fabulous sweet treat, of course) and it was great to see the team is now stocking Northern Pasta Company pasta alongside seasoning tins from Goat Rodeo Goods – and we particularly enjoyed the Better Than Sex Roast Potato Seasoning. All available at PureKnead in Whitley Bay, Newcastle and Gosforth, www.pure-knead.co.uk
Zesty!
Bright, fruity and inventive, this limited-edition Kenyan coffee is co-fermented with oranges and is only available for a limited time. £14 per 250g at Baristocracy Coffee Roasters, www.baristocracycoffee.com
Star of Africa
We love the aroma of strawberries from this Ugandan single origin coffee from Cupper’s Journey every time we open it up. The gentle fruitiness translates into a sweet silky mouthfeel – and a delightful cup of coffee. From £9.50 at www.cuppersjourney.com
