WHOLESALE - FRIENDO BLENDO ESPRESSO

tasting notes:  citrus, berry, toffee

Citrus flavors swan dive into fresh berry full forward fold, which jumps or walks back into down dog, then ascends into a toffee sweetness sun salutation. Swan dive.

Friendo Blendo Espresso, crafted by Four Barrel Coffee, serves as a foundational offering designed specifically for espresso preparation. This blend utilizes a washed processing method, a technique where the fruit flesh is removed from the coffee cherry before drying. Generally, washed coffees are celebrated for their clean, bright acidity and consistent flavor profiles, as the removal of the fruit pulp allows the inherent characteristics of the bean to shine through without the influence of fermentation from the cherry skin.

In the cup, this espresso presents a balanced profile of citrus, berry, and toffee. For those looking to better understand how these specific descriptors fit into the broader spectrum of coffee, consulting a flavor wheel can be a helpful exercise in identifying nuanced notes. To learn more about how the processing methods impact the final cup, it is useful to consider how the removal of the mucilage contributes to the clarity often found in washed-process selections.
