Ballast Espresso

Description

Roasted slightly darker than our Peru Penachi, this coffee delivers a hefty body, a full and smooth mouthfeel, and a lasting finish. Its bold flavor profile, featuring notes of dark chocolate and caramel, makes it an excellent choice for espresso while also shining as a drip coffee.

We taste: Baker's Chocolate, Rich Caramel
