This delicious blend contains two freshly landed, new-season coffees – La Soledad (80%) from Guatemala and Hadeso (20%) from Ethiopia.
La Soledad, a washed coffee from Antigua, Guatemala, contributes a nutty sweetness to the blend. It’s produced by Lucia Zelaya and Rony Asensio, who both come from longstanding coffee-producing families and take great pride in doing everything to the highest possible standard.
Hadeso was grown by 500 independent, small-scale farmers in Guji, Ethiopia. It was expertly wash-processed at the Hadeso washing station, which is run by our long-time supply partners at Testi Coffee. This coffee adds some beautiful fruit notes to the blend.
Both these coffees are stand-outs on our menu every year. Blended together, they create a sweet, balanced and creamy espresso that tastes fantastic in milk-based drinks as well as on its own.
