Roaster's Notes: 

Streamline is our house espresso blend that has been forged over many years to be the flag bearer of quality, and sustainability in a traditional ristretto shot. We intentionally source coffees from three continents to share a global picture of what coffee should be. Streamline is comprised of coffees from South America, Central America, and Africa; balancing each flavor profile together to create something completely original yet reminiscent of an Italian Cafe experience.

The Streamline Espresso Blend, crafted by Victrola Coffee Roasters, represents a global approach to espresso composition. By sourcing components from the Mantiqueira de Minas region of Brazil, the Quiche department of Guatemala, and the Kanungu district of Uganda, this blend balances diverse origins through the expertise of producers like Cocarive, One Guatemala, and Gorilla Summit. The profile relies on a combination of pulped natural and washed processing methods to achieve its distinct character. Understanding these processing methods is essential for grasping how different techniques influence the final cup, often resulting in the hazelnut, cocoa, and blueberry notes identified by the roaster. For those looking to further refine their palate, referencing a flavor wheel can be a helpful tool when exploring the nuances of such complex blends. While washed coffees often highlight acidity and clarity, pulped natural processes frequently contribute to a heavier body and enhanced sweetness, creating a versatile foundation for espresso.
