Designed with the notion that the key to a quality tasting espresso shot is quality ingredients, Bassline Espresso is a blend of carefully selected pulped natural Brazil and an elegant washed coffee from Ethiopia. Our espresso blend can be enjoyed as a straight shot, but will also work harmoniously with milk. Bassline can be enjoyed as a delicious drip brew too!
Each component is roasted separately and then blended together. This blend is anchored with rich and creamy chocolate base notes, highlighted with a vibrant blast of citrus acidity up front, and stone fruits, dark cocoa, and molasses balancing it all out.

Context
The Decaf Bassline Espresso Blend, crafted by Passion House Coffee, offers a distinct profile centered on savory and indulgent notes of peanut butter, cashew, and cocoa. While many coffees from Ethiopia are celebrated for their bright, floral, or citrus-forward characteristics, this specific blend highlights the versatility of the region’s output by focusing on a rich, nutty, and chocolatey foundation.
Decaffeinated offerings often require careful roasting to maintain body and sweetness, and this blend leans into a comforting, dessert-like experience. When evaluating such profiles, tasters often look to the flavor wheel to categorize these deeper, earthier tones that contrast with the more common acidic profiles associated with the origin. By prioritizing these dense, creamy notes, this espresso blend provides a balanced and approachable cup that remains satisfying as a standalone shot or when paired with milk.
