CORE Espresso Blend is a 100% arabica blend made up of top quality coffees from Brazil and Honduras. CORE Espresso Blend was our first, and still most popular, espresso blend. Perfectly balanced for espresso, cappuccino and latte, this coffee is smooth and rich with a long, intense finish. The naturally processed blend is roasted medium dark. It produces a rich, full-bodied flavour yet maintains the smoothness usually found in a lighter roast. Featuring a pleasant cinnamon nuance and undertones of dark chocolate, this bean is perfect for anything from filter coffee to espresso. We have teamed up with San Coffee in Brazil to bring their special chocolate recipe. Paired with our Honduras SHG from Cafesmo , which gives cocoa, herbal and nutty flavours with an aftertaste of lemon and languishing creamy mouthfeel. Whilst the coffee itself may be somewhat conventional, the cup profile is anything but. A creamy chocolate body, encased with sugar cane sweetness and toffee flavours outperform any of our expectations. Lashings of sweet caramel in the aroma, with a gentle cocoa aftertaste. SHG (Strictly High Grown) specifies that the coffee was grown at an altitude above 1350 meters. This term is also synonymous with SHB (Strictly Hard Bean); this classification is lower than HB.
