Blind Assessment
The aroma is sweet, smoky and toasty. In the small cup the smoky tones complement a dry but lush fruitiness. Comes richly into its own in milk, where the smoke and toast tones read as fresh leather and the dry fruit turns crisply chocolate.
Notes
The darker roasted of three espresso blends offered by The Supreme Bean, a Los Angeles-area wholesale roaster specializing in high-end roasted-to-order espresso blends and single origins. Visit
Who Should Drink It
Those who enjoy the leathery, deeply fruity scent of pipe tobacco before it goes into the pipe.
