It mixes well with milk but truly shines on its own. Intense body, acidity, and sweetness provide a wonderful backdrop for the complexity of flavors that invite exploration. Cherry, brandy, green pepper, tobacco, chocolate, orange, and vanilla are all present.

Background Info
This is a bold espresso not only in taste but in the fact that it contains the infamous Panama - Esmeralda Special.
Working with our Espresso Havana as a starting point, we set out to create a top shelf, and more refined, version of this coffee’s profile.
Our Espresso Havana was designed to pair well with a fine cigar as well as offer the heavy mouthfeel and smoky tobacco-like tastes for those enjoying this blend without the aforementioned cigar.
As with our Northern Italian-style Espresso Reserve we pursued perfection by working with our finest coffees. We started with our Sumatra - Lake Tawar to provide a heavy-bodied base as well as tobacco, caramel, and spice. Then we added the infamous Panama - Esmeralda Special to add the liveliness of citrus and floral effervescence as well as elegance and refinement.
The results were even better than we had hoped. This espresso pairs marvelously with cigars.
