Chocolate and almond from the Guatemala as the baseline, with bright citrus and jasmine from the Ethiopia cutting across it. Superthing's idea is that each coffee in a blend should say something the other does not, and you can taste both halves rather than a blur.

Roasted specifically for espresso, and their most popular blend. The Guatemalan half gives the body and sweetness a shot needs; the Ethiopian half keeps it from going flat and dull the way a lot of espresso blends do. It brews well as filter too, where the jasmine comes forward.

How to drink it. Espresso first, black or in milk. The chocolate-almond base holds up in a cortado and the citrus survives it better than most. As filter, drink it black.
