Wide Awake | Strong Espresso Blend

Wide Awake is built for the drinker who needs their coffee to hold up, cut through and still taste like something at the bottom of a large cup. Rich notes of toffee, hazelnut, and marmalade deliver a full-bodied, caramel-forward cup that holds its flavour no matter how much milk you pour. This is the blend that doesn't get lost.

The Wide Awake blend from St. Ali is a robust espresso offering that draws its character from beans sourced in the Brazil · china region. Designed specifically for espresso preparation, this blend emphasizes a classic, comforting profile defined by notes of toffee, hazelnut, marmalade, and caramel.

In the broader context of coffee production, Brazilian coffees are frequently celebrated for their approachable, nutty, and sweet qualities, which often serve as the foundation for high-quality espresso blends. When evaluating such profiles, enthusiasts often consult the flavor wheel to better identify the nuances between sugar-browning notes like caramel and the subtle citrus acidity found in marmalade. By balancing these distinct elements, the Wide Awake blend aims to provide a consistent and reliable cup, showcasing the traditional strengths of its origin while maintaining the specific sensory characteristics favored by the roaster.
