Roaster's Notes
Whidbey’s Blend is a traditional Northern Italian style espresso, comprised of three types of high-quality arabica beans from Papua New Guinea, Colombia, and Brazil. We gently roast the blend to a medium-dark level to preserve the sweetness of the beans, and bring bittersweet complexity to the espresso. The Indonesian and Brazilian components add sweetness, syrupy-smooth body, and beautiful crema to the espresso, while the high grown Colombian Excelso balances the shot’s middle tones.
As a straight espresso, Whidbey Blend offers the bittersweet notes of baker’s chocolate, complemented with almond, and a pleasant smoked cedar and peat finish. When combined with steamed milk, the espresso’s caramel notes are beautifully highlighted.
