In your lineup
We roast this pre-blend to a dark level for many of our toll roasting customers who want a stronger and heavier-bodied espresso. The flavor is earthy and spicy, perfect for cutting through syrup and milk-heavy beverages. This blend is available year-round, and although the components will change, we aim to provide consistent bittersweet cocoa and toffee notes.
If you like an espresso on the darker side for milk drinks, affogatos, or in the style of café Cubano, this is the blend for you.
