Our selection of dark & distinctive coffees:
Espresso Roast Blend
Our Espresso Roast Blend is a very special combination of four select origin coffees individually roasted to perfection and combined after roasting to create the perfect base for our espresso based drinks. Subtle enough to be enjoyed as a straight shot, yet assertive enough for a latte. This signature blend is a delicious cornerstone of our business.

Profile
Smooth body with a smoky aroma and sweet earthy flavor.
Place
West-central Sumatra near the port of Padang-Sumatra, Indonesia.
People
While most coffees are named after the country or growing region where they are farmed and harvested, Mandheling Coffee is named after the Mandheling People, who traditionally farmed and processed these coffee beans.
Process
This coffee is semi-washed - a process in which the outer skin is removed in a fashion similar to the fully washed process. Once the skin is removed, however, the pulpy mucilage is left to dry on the bean. This process makes for a fruitier taste and stronger, heavier body.
Pairing
Fresh cherries, pecans, chocolate, carrot cake.
