Sweet Tooth
A Single Origin Espresso
As a roaster that is committed to promoting our producers and bringing them out of anonymity, single-origin espresso has always been important to us. The best shots of espresso we've ever had have been single-origin -- dynamic, sweet, and complex. They are balanced, and good in milk to boot.
We rotate the Sweet Tooth offering frequently to keep us on our game, this is the latest greatest.

Just outside of Peña Blanca, the hamlet of El Cedral is home to some of the most coveted coffees in the world. One family in particular - the Moreno family - has been living and working together for generations here. Most years we have just collaborated with Evin Moreno, but this year the harvest was just too good! Thanks to a great growing season and hard work, the entire family had a surplus of some of their best offerings. Complex but balanced, we are excited to showcase the entire Moreno clan in this stand-out Sweet Tooth.
