Blind Assessment
The aroma is clean and high-toned with innuendo of fresh leather. The demitasse is complex but controlled, with a classic balance of sweetness and bitterness embellished by cocoa and nut notes and a crisp shimmer of acidity. In discreet amounts of milk seductive with caramel and cocoa tones.
Notes
The aroma is clean and high-toned with innuendo of fresh leather. The demitasse is complex but controlled, with a classic balance of sweetness and bitterness. Mr. Espresso is a small-batch wholesale roaster in the San Francisco Bay Area that uses traditional oak-fired roasting machines to produce its smooth blends. Gold Medal Blend has won the Chefs in America competition for four straight years.
Who Should Drink It
Enjoy its complex elegance as a straight shot or in moderate amounts of milk. Forgiving in the brewing.
