BRAZIL – ETHIOPIA

Tasting this blend surprised us straight away. The coffee has a sweet, full body in which notes of caramel and chocolate come through beautifully. The real surprise is the fruity, floral finish from the Ethiopian bean.

That makes this blend delicious as an espresso, but also very well suited to a latte or cappuccino. An approachable yet interesting coffee that keeps you coming back.
