Espresso No 4 Blend Organic Fairtrade

This is a full continental roast made from pure Peru, a fine central American arabica. This roast also serves as the stronger component of Espresso 2 Blend. With nothing blended into it this coffee has a strong clear taste, particularly tasty as it cools down and displays many of the flavors characteristics of medium roast Peru

This single origin coffee makes a strong espresso but many will find it too strong as an espresso but perfect for a latte or other milky coffee. This is because the milk absorbs and moderates the strong almost burnt tones. So mild espresso fans will prefer a lighter roast, perhaps even as light as one of our medium mild arabicas while latte drinkers will be delighted to get a full flavored drink hard to buy on the mass market.

Blending tip: when deciding on a mixed roast blend it usually works better to have more of the milder roast, less of the stronger.

Blending tip: even the strongest roast can be mixed with a normal tasting blend - so long as you use very little. Start by trying one part in four.
