This is one of our signature roasts that you will often find on rotation on drip at the café. It is a dark roast that offers a unique light body and a smooth cup that is great to enjoy black.
The Flavour
The blend of the Ethiopian and Costa Rican coffee allows for a sweet cup with a classic coffee finish. A hint of red apple and tropical fruit push forward from the Ethiopian making the cup crisp yet the Costa Rican transforms the cup nicely to a milk chocolate finish.
The Roast
This is a fast roast to the dark zone. I maintain the momentum thru first crack and push it to second crack, trying not to break down the cell structure of the bean.
