Tasting this blend of coffee beans truly surprised us! The beans have a sweet, full body that brings out the caramel and chocolate hints beautifully. But the real surprise is the fresh, floral aftertaste that the Ethiopian bean adds.
This makes it a delicious and interesting espresso, but also a perfect coffee for a latte or cappuccino. Try these beans in our Pine Green cup – the green tones enhance the complex flavors of this coffee blend!
