Blind Assessment
Citrus and floral notes float atop pungent fermented fruit tones in the small cup; nut and chocolate notes complicate the finish. Maintains its leathery, spicy complexity in milk, adding a rounder and softer chocolate finish. 88 straight espresso, 89 w/milk)
Notes
The lightest roasted of four espresso blends offered by Caffé Umbria, a new wholesale roasting company built around the skills of roast master Emanuele Bizzarri, one of the founders of the famous roasting company Torrefazione Italia. Visit
Who Should Drink It
Probably at its best as a straight shot or cappuccino, but its big body and full-throated complexity make themselves felt even in large quantities of milk.
