Went to Caravan today. Had a filter of the Rwandan which was good; had a smooth, caramel-like taste. It was slightly more acidic than I'd like, but overall very good. The flat white there was excellent. It had treacle/licorice flavours at the end, and was very rich.
Also, the Spanish black pudding there was absolutely awesome.
I've bought some of their Ethiopian Dumerso and Kenyan Gachirago. Both seem to be roasted for filter, etc. but I have given them a bash in the espresso machine. The Dumerso was a typical Yirgacheffe, but it was on the lighter side, and the tea-like flavours and fragrance you get with Yirgacheffe wasn't that intense. The Kenyan is similar in a way, in that it was what I was expecting, except I wasn't blown away by the fruitiness; a could taste a little blackcurrant, and there was an almond flavour too.
