This espresso blend comprises Central and South American coffees known for their distinct chocolate, nutty, and sweet flavor profiles. The blend creates a smooth and balanced espresso shot with excellent crema that works well as a standalone shot and in milk-based espresso drinks. The coffee also performs well as drip coffee. Roasted to a medium to medium-dark level, this versatile blend features tasting notes of chocolate, caramel, orange citrus, and toasted nut.

The roastery partners with sustainable farms and cooperatives worldwide, prioritizing fair trade practices and environmental responsibility across its supply chain. Great Minds roasts in small batches with a focus on continual improvement, rotating its coffee roster to keep the offering fresh and reflective of what is seasonally available.
