Cupping Profile: Yellow apple, toffee, molasses, raisin, hazelnut, spice Espresso Profile: Toffee, molasses, chocolate, yellow apple, cashew Processing Method: Blend of Pulped Natural & Natural Region: Santo Antonio do Amparo, Minas Gerais The diversity of Brazil’s various micro-climates is such that it’s possible to find an incredible array of unique flavor profiles, due both to environmental conditions and processing methods. This amazing assortment of contrast and compliment in cup character, coupled with Atlas’ insatiable thirst for ever richer espresso profiles, led to the development of Roots Espresso Blend. Roots Espresso pairs two of Santo Antonio Estates finest coffees, one processed using the pulped-natural method and one using the natural-dry method. These provide for a very dynamic range of flavors in what may be considered a single-origin blend. Orange zest, hazelnut and licorice are prominent in the fragrance and aroma, and flavors of molasses, toffee, raisin, hazelnut, and spice marry to form a subtle complexity best experienced as an espresso coffee.
