Dark Horse- Seasonal Espresso

Dark Horse Autumn Seasonal Espresso Blend

Hold your horses, friends! Not everything with a dark horse is as it would first appear; some painted ponies wandering through the desert are sure to be nothing but a mirage.

Inspired by the wild horses that have roamed the inhospitable lands of California’s Death Valley and Ethiopia’s Kundudo for centuries, our new Autumn Seasonal Espresso combines two of our favorite offerings from the birthplace of coffee, and where it still grows wild. Far from being tamed, these coffees take on wildly new and exciting characteristics when blended.

Alone, our Organic Hama hits like a bouquet of fresh cut flowers. It is light and delicate - almost more of a smell than a flavor. We love it for it’s racing acidity and short clean finish. On the other hand, the Organic Aramo has been what we’ve always looked for in the best of coffees from the Yirgacheffe region. It is thick and syrupy sweet. Flavors of berries and melons undulate and evolve in the cup as it cools - a lush and juicy brew every time.

When running astride, these heirloom coffees band together in a big way to gallop all over your tastebuds!

Aromatics of jasmine, lilac, and violet stampede into flavors of sweet berries, blackcurrant, and cantaloupe. Dark chocolate notes keep it all grounded, stable, and surefooted. Both wonderfully heavy and light at the same time, a shot of Dark Horse rushes off as soon as arrived, leaving a clean, bewildering, almost tea-like finish. 

So step right up folks, you won’t see this one coming!
