This is our flagship espresso blendBlendCoffees from multiple origins roasted or mixed together for a consistent, balanced profile year-round — the traditional backbone of espresso menus., built at a time when the espresso you found at your local coffee shop would probably be black, oily and bitter. We wanted to pull something much sweeter in the northern Italian style. Eleven years after the fact, it’s still our best seller, and mostly as a brewed coffee. With a heavy bodyBodyThe weight and texture of coffee in the mouth, from tea-like and delicate to syrupy and heavy. Driven by process, roast, variety, and brew method., brown sugar tones, dark fruit and enough acidityAcidityThe bright, lively, fruit-like sensation in coffee — praise, not a flaw. Citric sparkle, malic apple-crispness, tartaric wine notes; light roasts preserve more of it. to keep it from being clunky, it’s what lots of our customers think of when they think of “good coffee.” We are especially proud of our sourcing for this coffee, as organic-certified coffees from Brazil are extremely hard to come by, and cost twice as much as comparable Brazils that carry no certification. We are confident you will not find a better Brazil-based, certified organic espresso blend anywhere, especially at this price point. If you do, please let us know. Seriously! This coffee was chosen as a Golden Bean bronze medal winner in 2016.
