A carefully crafted espresso blend, specially roasted to create a rich, sweet espresso, latte, or cappuccino. Excellent as a drip coffee too.Tasting NotesCrafted to perform superbly in espresso preparation, our Fair Trade Organic Espresso is also lovely as a brewed cup. We begin with syrupy Indonesian beans, and round out the blend with milk chocolate flavors and velvety texture from select Nicaraguan coffees. The brightness of these American beans helps punctuate the coffee in lattes and cappuccinos. Together, these beans create a perfect balance.Flavor ChartWe originally developed this blend in concert with the chefs of Shelburne Farms, who use Organic Espresso Blend to serve in their dining room as drip, French press and espresso coffees."When in our tasting room, the highest pleasure is to take some time, some Organic Espresso Blend and some focus and make a few shots for guests, colleagues, and myself. It is almost a meditative experience. People can come into our area, muddled or with a headache, and a well made shot of espresso with our Organic Espresso Blend can launch them into happiness, clarity and feeling strong and confident. It offers a complexity, sweetness, balance and depth in aroma and flavor that is so invigorating, so inspiring, as to make one just plain happy to be alive."?Don Holly Notes from OriginBased in the Segovia region of northern Nicaragua, PRODECOOP now includes 40 cooperatives and 2,318 families.With revenues from Fair Trade sales, PRODECOOP has purchased a dry mill, and new machinery and equipment, all of which contribute to the cooperative?s quality standards.

While blended especially for espresso preparation, our Fair Trade Organic Espresso Blend makes an excellent drip coffee as well.
