Animal Season Blend expresso

We present our specialty coffee blend, ideal for making coffee known as «expreso», exprés, or espresso.

ROAST FOR ESPRESSO

An espresso, or espresso, is a short, concentrated coffee with a very quick extraction. Its name comes from the latter. It is the base for many coffee drinks, and its quick extraction calls for a more intense roast.

Roasting is very important in specialty coffee. Unlike commercial coffee, the goal is to bring out the notes, not burn away defects. It is roasted a little darker for espresso, but never burned.

Our seasonal blend combines coffees from different origins and has the perfect roast for espresso. Specialty coffees roasted to just the right intensity complement each other to create an exceptional espresso.

WHAT IS A BLEND IN SPECIALTY COFFEE? 

A blend in specialty coffee is a mix of coffee beans from different origins.

First, we roast each origin separately to ensure an even roast.  Then we blend the two origins.  The result? The combination of these origins and processes makes for a coffee with many nuances that is easier to work with.   In other words… the best of both worlds!

A selection of specialty coffees that complement each other to achieve the perfect balance.  We select origins based on each producing country's harvest seasons and the coffees' tasting notes.  By combining these origins, we create a sweet, full-bodied coffee that is easy to work with.

SPECIALTY COFFEES IN OUR SEASONAL BLEND

The specialty coffees currently in our seasonal blend are:

• Mexico La Tribu  and
• Colombia Comunidades Huila

La Tribu specialty coffee comes from the Sierra Madre region of Chiapas. It brings together 4 cooperatives, which currently have 827 members. The active members grow coffee sustainably and organically. Most are producers whose farms are no larger than 3 hectares.

Colombia Comunidades Huila, on the other hand, is a specialty coffee from small farms in the Huila region.

Both coffees are processed using the washed method, giving this espresso blend a lighter body, sweet flavors, and balanced acidity.

These origins complement each other perfectly in our seasonal espresso blend.  The result is a full-bodied, harmonious, and intense coffee with balanced acidity and fruity notes.
