Espresso Nuevo is full-bodied and smooth with a mild, pleasing acidity. This blend features the complex tastes of sweet spices, Maraschino cherries, lemon zest, and vanilla. This espresso is best in 5oz cappuccinos as the milk creates additional dimensions of flavor and character - a single-origin chocolate bar.

Classic and chic, Espresso Nuevo is a Central Italian-type espresso blend designed for the American cafe. Darker roasted than our Espresso Classico, Espresso Nuevo is excellent in milk drinks as it has the power to punch through milk rather nicely.

Accolades

"Sweet aroma combining notes of nut, aromatic wood, and molasses. In the small cup, full body, thick, syrupy mouthfeel, and a complex range of flavors including toast, nut and concentrated fruitiness suggesting raisins and dried cherries. Intense bittersweet chocolate in the finish. The flavor notes persist in two parts milk, sweetening and broadening, turning toward creamy caramel and milk chocolate."
