Brazil Coffee, Serra Negra Espresso
Brazil Coffee, Serra Negra Espresso
TASTING NOTES
Cocoa, sweet almond, subtle white grape.
ESPRESSO
A good espresso should taste as sweet and complex as a filter coffee. Since espresso is simply an intense concentration of a coffee, using quality coffee becomes even more important. For maximum sweetness and flavor complexity, this coffee is roasted lighter than most roasters “espresso” coffee. Taste is subjective, so play with this recipe, but we invite you to start with a coffee to water ratio of a 1:3 ratio for espresso, use filtered water, and grind a bit finer than you likely would from other roasters.
THE UNIQUE STORY
Serra Negra highlights the rich almond and lemon-like acidity profile in classic Brazilian coffees, but also offers a fantastic syrupy-sweetness and heavy mouthfeel from its natural process. To highlight the comfort of such a classical coffee profile, this Serra Negra is the result of carefully selected and blended coffees from the Minas Gerais region of Brazil.
