Free rides, free iced coffee, free chats with ... that’s a wrap on the pink Grind iced coffee taxi. Thank you to everyone who came along for the ride and sent us snaps of your taxi sighting. You can now go back to taking photos of Big Ben and Shrek’s Adventure.

If you like the sound of craft iced coffee on the move (who wouldn’t?), you should probably try our iced coffee cans.

Our Head of Coffee has tried his fair share of decaf coffee. According to him, none of them are as rich and vibrant as this single-origin Colombian from Finca Santa Monica, an incredible farm we’ve worked with for years.

So here it is as a limited edition special.

All of our decaf coffee is naturally decaffeinated using the sugarcane method, but what makes this one so special is anaerobic fermentation, a time-intensive and delicate process that results in intense, rich, boozy flavour. You should try it while you can.

Get in loser, we’re going around London in a pink Grind taxi, drinking iced coffee, and WINNING A BIG PRIZE (maybe).
