Apricot, lime milkshake & strawberries. 


Bold, bright and full of good energy, Double Trouble captures that spark when two coffee lovers set off side by side, each chasing their perfect cup. It's a playful nod to the idea that no matter how you brew, coffee's always better shared. This limited seasonal release celebrates connection through contrast. For the first time ever, it's roasted for both espresso and filter. Whether you're pulling a shot or pouring a brew, you'll discover the same story told two delicious ways. Sourced from Ethiopia's celebrated Guji Zone and the lush forests of Kaffa, Double Trouble bursts with bright stone fruit and citrus. The espresso roast shines with lively apricot and lime, softening into strawberries-and-cream sweetness with milk. As a filter, expect juicy apricot and peach tones, lifted by a zesty lime sparkle and rounded with a silky, elegant finish. Different paths, same joy. This is coffee that brings people together.

Context

The Double Trouble Blend, crafted by Five Senses, represents a unique marriage of two distinct Ethiopian terroirs. By sourcing beans from both the Guji Zone and Kaffa, this blend highlights the diverse profiles found within Ethiopia. While Ethiopian coffees are often celebrated for their vibrant acidity and complex aromatics, this specific combination yields a distinct sensory experience characterized by notes of apricot, lime milkshake, strawberries, and peach.

When evaluating such a multifaceted profile, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between the stone fruit sweetness and the creamy, citrus-forward elements. Blends that bridge multiple regions within a single country often aim to balance the bright, floral characteristics typical of high-altitude Ethiopian harvests with a more rounded, dessert-like mouthfeel. This particular offering invites drinkers to explore how the specific regional influences of Guji and Kaffa contribute to a layered and nuanced cup.
