Why does the Dreispitz Espresso taste the way it does?
The tricorn hat is a blend of – who would have thought – three equally large ous parts: one third each from Brazil, Nicaragua and Guinea. The Arabica variety Mondo Novo from Brazil provides the base in the espresso. The coffee tastes of hazelnut and milk chocolate and forms a creamy texture. The coffee from Nicaragua from the Las Nubes and El Recuerdo farms - neighboring farms and neighbors of ours in Nicaragua - adds some complexity to the blend. With sweet It balances the blend with ß-sour notes. The Robusta from Macenta Beans from Guinea, processed as honey, then provides the classic espresso effect. The Robusta gives the blend a heaviness and a strong aftertaste.
