Description
nut brittle | choc-fudge | malt
My love for coffee started in Italy. This blend is a pilgrimage back to the birthplace of that love, a homage to my memory, now seen through a more contemporary lens.
The roast is taken deep into medium, but not so far that dark, bolder roast notes overshadow origin. I have developed a caramelly sweetness while avoiding any char. The acidity has been softened and rounded. Some weight has been added to the body. The fruit notes have been turned toward chocolate and ripe quince without losing their clarity and balance. This blend is sweet, earthy and syrupy with ripe stone fruit at the centre and a long, chocolate-layered finish.
Roast: Medium-dark
Preparation: espresso/flat white/stovetop
