A Shot in the Dark 2020: The Contenders

Wednesday, 11 March, 2020

So you wanna be a contender? Well these roasters certainly do! It's going to be an exciting competition with 48 roasters throwing their name in to the ring for the 2020 Title!

In this year's A Shot in the Dark sponsored by Genio Roasters, we've got a lot of returning heavy hitters and some fresh new names. We have few internal competitions brewing too; Manna and Toro are pitting their roasters against each other to see who comes out tops! We love it! Using this competition as a training and growth experiment is exactly what we want to see. Our preliminary round coffee is a cracker from Sevenoaks Trading! We are almost finished packing this delicious coffee to send our to these roasters.
