Does coffee taste better outdoors?
Many coffee lovers would argue that it does - and we are one of them.
There's something about sitting outside with fresh Highland air, beautiful scenery and nowhere to rush to that makes every sip more enjoyable. Listen as the Loch Lomond wildlife chatter around you, the water laps rhythmically onto the shore and the Maid of the Loch paddle steamer makes it’s way up and down the water.
At Wild Highlands Coffee, we believe coffee should help you slow down, unwind and appreciate the moment. Being able to do that outside in a beautiful location? There’s nothing better.
Hot coffee or iced coffee in summer?
One of the best things about coffee is its versatility.
Many people continue to enjoy a hot latte, cappuccino or flat white throughout the summer, particularly during Scotland's cooler mornings. There's nothing quite like holding a warm cup while watching the mist lift from Loch Lomond.
When temperatures rise, iced coffee becomes an equally popular choice. Did you know you can make your own delicious iced coffee at home to remind you of your time at Loch Lomond? It couldn’t be easier.
- Brew your favourite Wild Highlands Coffee blend, available from our online store.
- Allow it to cool naturally.
- Pour over plenty of ice.
- Add milk or your preferred dairy-free alternative like oat milk.
- Sweeten to taste as required.
The result is a smooth, refreshing drink that's perfect for sunny afternoons in the garden. As to which coffee blend is best for iced coffee? Many customers enjoy The Loch for iced coffee thanks to its smooth 100% Arabica flavour, although all of our blends can be enjoyed hot or cold depending on your personal preference.
