Syrupy & Smooth

For espresso flavors that'll pair beautifully with any milk beverage you wanna throw at them, this bird really sings. We taste caramel, buts, and dried fruit.

Understanding roast levels

Roast level affects both flavor and body. Here's what to expect from each.

Light

Best for: those that prize delicate flavors and a tea-like feel above intensity.

Light-Medium

Best for: those that enjoy juicy acidity and gently caramelized sugars.

Medium

Best for: those that enjoy balance and classic flavors like cocoa and nuts.

Medium-Dark

Best for: those looking for classic coffee flavors with a kiss of roast.

Dark

Best for: those that love intense, smoky flavor and a full body above all else.

Trade Tip

Roasters don’t always agree on roast level — one roaster’s dark might look the same as another’s medium. We taste and assign every coffee our own roast level, so your matches stay consistent no matter who roasted them.

    Excellent!!

    I really liked this espresso. It had a rich flavor but still kept some lighter notes. Very nice to drink by itself or in a latte

    Interesting Blend

    Complex and varied flavors, I like it short and hot with a little honey to bring out the notes of apple.

    Didn't Live Up to My Expectations...

    This blend just didn't click with me. I found it a little flat and missing the sweetness and depth I usually look for in an espresso. It's not a bad coffee, but it isn't one I'd choose again.

    First coffee from Trade

    The coffee is good. Initially came across very roasty. Tried it in an iced drink as well hot latte, and felt like it shined with steamed milk. The bitterness in the profile comes out more in iced drinks. The roastiness dissipated with time. Not my favorite but a pretty good profile.
