Bear Blend
Espresso roast
Our house espresso blend - ninth iteration
Bear Blend is the one we keep coming back to. Big body, rich chocolate, sweetness throughout, and a pop of red plum that catches you on the way through.
It's built from two coffees right now. Bela Vista from Brazil - grown by Isabela and Antônio Reis at 1000m - gives it the deep body and chocolate base. Karambi from Rwanda brings the brightness and the fruit. Together they do what a good blend should: each one making the other better.
Works well with milk. Worth trying black, where the plum really shows up.

Bear Blend isn't fixed. As the crops rotate, so do the coffees inside it, chosen each time for the same character: big body, chocolate-led, with fruit underneath. The components change. The quality doesn't.
This is the ninth iteration. We think it's the best one yet.
