FORGE espresso blend is a carefully crafted blend designed to deliver a rich, complex espresso with a lasting finish. Coffee blending is essential for espresso because a single origin rarely offers all the depth, balance, and aromatic complexity that a great shot demands. The magic of espresso lies in its crema – a smooth, emulsified layer of tiny bubbles that traps aromatic compounds, coats the tongue, and slowly releases flavour so you can enjoy the coffee long after each sip. FORGE espresso blend combines selected coffees from Brazil, Honduras and Colombia to create a harmonious, full-flavoured cup. Brazilian coffee brings a creamy, plum-like mouthfeel with aromas of ripe peach, sweet nut and caramel, finishing with gentle fruit notes. Colombian coffee adds festive flavours of caramelised orange and candied peel, with a smooth, caramel-creamy body. Honduras offers cocoa, herbal and nutty flavours with a lemon-tinged aftertaste and a lingering, creamy mouthfeel. While each component is enjoyable on its own, together they create a cup profile that is anything but conventional: a creamy chocolate body wrapped in sugar cane sweetness and toffee tones, lifted by lashings of sweet caramel in the aroma and a gentle cocoa finish.
