well, despite the title this is actually the Counter Culture Coffee Toscano blend. Murky started selling their espresso blend recently, which is great but the last two times i’ve been by to pick up a bag–the bags on the shelves are about 10 days old. It usually takes me 2 weeks to finish a bag so i prefer to get them 1-2 days off roast.
I think they only get new bags every two weeks so i need to figure out when the deliveries happen.
So my thoughts on this blend? It’s a light roast but still darker then the Terroir blend. It’s much more forgiving then the Terroir too. As a straight espresso it’s a rich coffee flavor with just a touch of caramel and tobacco–not much chocolate though. So in a cappucino it’s a little too mild in my opinion. I really like the chocolate flavor and right now i think the Caffe Fresco Ambrosia is the best for that.
Next on my list is the Intelligentsia Black Cat and Kid-O blends.
