Thanksgiving Coffee inchUpsetter Espresso inch Light Roasted Fair Trade Organic Shade Grown Whole Bean Coffee - 12 Ounce Bag

Enticing notes of caramel and rich milk chocolate are complemented by hints of sweet citrus. Especially well suited for straight shots of espresso. The Upsetter espresso stands out as a truly bold step for espresso: a lightly roasted blend of the finest coffees from all around the world. It took over a year to develop the balanced taste and complex flavors of this espresso. Instead of using coffee from a single origin, Roastmaster Jacob Long played up the complexities imparted by different varietals. This one-of-a-kind blend includes sweet, nutty tastes of Nicaragua, spicy notes from Congo, and the beautiful fruit-forward qualities of Ethiopian beans. By keeping the roast light, the end result is nuanced and lively; presenting richer flavors and deeper complexity than most dark roasted, single origin espressos. Award Winning Coffee: The Upsetter espresso beat out 170 other coffees in a double-blind taste test to win this year’s Good Food Award. The award highlights the superior flavor of our blended espresso while honoring our social and environmental responsibility. More than just espresso?! Just because the Upsetter is an espresso roast, doesn’t mean that it can’t be enjoyed as a drip coffee. French press, pour over, or cold brew, the Upsetter tastes great no matter how you prepare it. Behind the controls of the roasting machine, the roaster checks gauges, fiddles with knobs and valves, and works to perfect each and every roast. We’ve named our Upsetter Espresso after Lee “Scratch” Perry, known as “The Upsetter”, a Jamaican musician famous for his unusual remixes, using 8-track analog recording to produce strange, unique, and beautiful sounds. Just as The Upsetter used reverb, volume, and pitch to perfect his mixes, we fiddle with the controls of our roasting machine to perfect our roasting of this unique espresso blend. – Jacob Long, Roastmaster
