Sweetly tart, richly bright. Pomegranate, dark chocolate, narcissus, tangerine zest, brown sugar in aroma and cup. Crisp, satiny mouthfeel, chocolaty, fruit-tart finish. In cappuccino-scaled milk, pomegranate and dark chocolate notes are juxtaposed with narcissus." "A trifecta of tart fruit, deep chocolate and spicy floral notes, this espresso blend offers further intrigue with its successful inclusion of a Robusta component. Especially rich in cappuccino format."   Brewing Recommendations Espresso Recipe (starting point): 18 g in → 36 g out in ~28 seconds (1:2 ratio) Milk Drinks: Excellent for small cups -cappuccino and macchiato; retains sweetness and structure Grind: Adjust finer for more syrupy body; coarser for brighter structure Water: 92-94 °C / 199–201 °F (aim ~93 °C / 200 °F) Service & Storage Rest: Best 5–14 days post-roast for peak crema and sweetness Storage: Keep sealed and cool; enjoy within 2–3 weeks after opening Crafted for everyday excellence, Espresso Classico reflects our dedication to consistency, flavor, and artistry— a cornerstone of the Paradise espresso lineup.
