London, 1 March 2017 – Budding coffee connoisseurs can enjoy a masterclass in caffeine appreciation with The Montague on the Gardens' all-new Coffee Experience. Making the most of the sunny spells and warmer temperatures to come throughout March and April, the luxury hotel has transformed its outdoor Wood Deck area into a “Coffee Station” for the very first time, where expertly brewed coffee will be served as part of an educational experience, combined with exciting food pairings to complement the beans and brewing techniques.

Building on the success of the hotel's annual pop ups, which include the Montague Ski Lodge running throughout the winter, and the Beach Bar, which opened for the first time last summer, the Central London-based hotel has teamed up with Illy Coffee to offer an insightful coffee tasting experience even the most seasoned coffee enthusiast will want to try.

Guests will be invited to choose two types of coffee bean from a bespoke selection of Illy's finest roasts. The Montague's team of coffee experts will then elaborate on the three different brewing techniques available, and take guests through the brewing process step by step. Discover how each coffee bean and brewing process produces different tastes and aromas, and enjoy the end result – a super tasty cup of “Joe”! 

The Coffee Experience at The Montague will also include a selection of sweet and savoury food platters. Expertly brewed coffee is paired with a trio of mini sweet treats including coffee macaroons, macadamia chocolate brownies and the hotel's signature baked cheesecake. A trio of savoury snacks including mac and cheese, mini cheeseburgers and the South African speciality of bobotie spring rolls will also be available to guests. These platters have been specifically designed to complement the flavours of the different coffee beans and brewing techniques.  

The Coffee Experience is priced from £30 per person, and will be available from 2:00pm – 5:00pm seven days a week until the end of April 2017. The Montague's brand new “Coffee Station” on the hotel's Wood Deck overlooks the beautiful private gardens of the Bedford Estate at the rear of the property.
