Blind Assessment
Notes of sweet nut, caramel and aromatic wood in aroma and cup. Full body, syrupy mouthfeel and a finish enlivened by a bitter-edged chocolate and more aromatic wood.
Notes
A blend named after a family patriarch, Ernesto’s Espresso is, as the name suggests, intended to be brewed as espresso. Building on six generations of coffee production in Brazil, Nossa Familia is an Oregon-based roaster focused on importing coffee from the family’s farms.
