The fruit bat follows its keen sense of smell on its endless search for sugary sweets. Our team takes the same approach to developing our annual Fruit Bat seasonal espresso blend. This year's edition takes us on a tour of the coffee world, featuring super sweet selections from Guatemala, Ethiopia, and Kenya. By combining washed coffees from Guatemala and Kenya with a natural process from Ethiopia, this blend balances the deep, layered sweetness of blood orange and blackberry with a touch of bright cranberry.
