Early contender for espresso of the year here! It's everything we love from this drip coffee dialed to 11! It's a wonderful smoky deep nuttiness that wakes up your senses, the astringency is immediately transformed into an intense, decadent, special dark chocolate. The touch of bitterness is barely noticeable underneath the rich creamy body from this espresso. That light kiss of orange acidity stays on your tongue for a second before the chocolate comes back to pleasantly linger.

Recommended: I think this coffee shines best in lattes or capps. This chocolate crazy spro works wonderfully with any creamy, foamy milk or milk substitute.

Description: We are very excited to have a Mexico back in the premium roster! This one is a welcome addition, harkening back to the Las Cascadas that we had originally, with more complexity and depth. On the nose, you pick up smoky vanilla sweetness, winter forest, and a strong woodiness. These translate very directly to the taste of the cup, as you immediately pick up on notes of smoked vanilla oak, juniper, and a smoked caramel sweetness. The body is medium heavy and deep, accompanied by a creamy mouthfeel and slight notes of leather, orange zest, and fudge. It finishes very smooth and creamy, with lingering notes of a sweet and smoky dark chocolate truffle.

Shelf Life: An unopened bag will remain tasty for five months due to our processes and packaging. We remove most of the oxygen from each bag during our packaging process and replace it with food-grade nitrogen to lovingly cradle these precious beans for a long time. We use the highest quality bags with one-way valves to retain the low-oxygen environment we create and allow our coffee to off-gas naturally.
