Ganache • Maple Syrup • Dates

Born solely out of our love for deeper flavors in coffee that not only pair well with milk but enhance it, our Signature Espresso Blend - Camino de Oro, in our humble opinion, is some of our greatest work yet. 

A mix of three coffees that on their own work brilliantly as espresso but when blended create a classic, approachable espresso blend formulated for milk-based drinks.

Using our flagship Andino Leal as a foundation for body, acidity, and complexity, we added a natural Brazil from the Mogiana Region for balance, crema and sweetness, and a Peru from Amazonas for clarity and aroma.

From a Cortado to a Mocha, Camino de Oro’s balanced profile of Ganache, Maple Syrup, and Dates is sure to be a tasty and reliable workhorse.

Context

Merit Coffee's Camino De Oro presents a rich sensory profile centered on indulgent, sweet notes. The roaster identifies ganache, maple syrup, and dates as the coffee's defining characteristics—a combination that suggests deep chocolate undertones paired with warm caramel and stone fruit sweetness. These flavor markers point toward a full-bodied coffee with pronounced sweetness and a smooth mouthfeel. For reference on how these sensory descriptors fit within coffee's broader flavor spectrum, consult the flavor wheel. Whether these notes emerge from the coffee's origin, processing method, or roast profile remains part of each tasting experience.
