B 5 - espresso blend - medium roast 

This espresso blend is the latest addition to our espresso lineup: It wonderfully combines the subtly fruity notes of plum, red grape and mirabelle with the classic flavors of milk chocolate and hazelnut. It has a complex and full body, an almost buttery mouthfeel and a mild acidity. Strong enough to hold its own in milk-based drinks, it of course also works perfectly as an espresso or Americano. Enjoy your coffee!

Flavour profile:

Milk chocolate, plum, red grape, mirabelle. Complex body, mild accidity and slightly buttery mouthfeel.
