Thanksgiving Coffee "Northern Italian Style Espresso" Medium Roasted Fair Trade Organic Shade Grown Whole Bean Coffee - 12 Ounce Bag

A medium roast espresso with a heavy body and a deep milk chocolate profile complemented by sweet berry tones (blueberry and currant). Floral notes intertwine with the heavy body to make a very complex, excellent espresso. The currant comes through in the finish along with a spicy fragrance. This Italian style espresso coffee blend holds its power and characteristics even with the addition of steamed milk. Enjoy! The blending for espresso drinks is tricky because the extraction of the flavors takes place in 18-25 seconds, as opposed to the four minutes of the drip method. Balance between acidity and flavor at this rapid rate of extraction is not easy to achieve, and we have worked on this blend for a decade. It is a favorite of our restaurant and café accounts. There are coffees from three continents in this blend, which is specially formulated for rich crema (coffee foam). The result of a properly pulled espresso using this blend is a delightfully smooth espresso, not at all toasty or burnt-like, but intense enough to show up and vote in a latte or cappuccino.
