This seasonal blend of three smallholder coffees is named for an animal that loves sweetness almost as much as we do. It comes from small farms in Colombia, Peru, and Rwanda, but delivers a big dose of sweetness.

How To Brew

We recommend your finished espresso should weigh 2.5 times as much as your coffee dose, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For espresso we recommend a fine grind, setting 1 if you are ordering from intelligentsia.com
