    Roaster’s Notes
    This is easily the best Mexico coffee we've ever served. You'll notice heavy sugar flavors of molasses and toffee as soon as the Alfonso is ground. The cup is balanced and mellow at first, with a fruity sweetness something like a fig newton. As it cools, though, you'll begin to taste brighter flavors of pomegranate, star anise, and strawberry jam. Great with cream or black, this one's a crowd-pleaser
