Troublemaker Espresso Blend Description

Troublemaker brings the richness. Bold and indulgent, it layers dark chocolate and toasted hazelnut with sticky honeycomb sweetness and raisin depth. Its fuller roast profile is built to cut through milk, while still holding its own as a punchy straight espresso.

The current blend brings together coffees from Uganda, Brazil and Ethiopia. Uganda adds brightness and layered sweetness, Brazil delivers chocolatey depth, and Ethiopia lifts the cup with honeycomb and hazelnut character. The result is rich, structured and unapologetically full of attitude.
