Espresso Havana is balanced but intense with bold notes of tobacco, cherry, white pepper, chocolate, orange, and vanilla that persist throughout the long, heavy finish.

Background Information

This is our boldest espresso endeavor ever! Our Espresso Havana is designed to pair perfectly with a fine cigar yet still be enjoyed by those forgoing such an accompanying indulgence as the heavy mouthfeel and smoky, tobacco-like tastes create an interesting, bold experience.

We've used our powerful Sumatra Aceh Gold as a heavy-bodied base, which provides a backdrop of tobacco, caramel, and spice. To add liveliness, citrus, and floral effervescence, we round the blend out with our finest coffees from Ethiopia and Guatemala. Espresso Havana pairs marvelously with cigars or a few ounces of steamed milk.
