African Espresso Blend - Coffee of Valhalla

A great blend of coffee from Kenya, Tanzania, and Ethiopia. These three medium-large countries sit along the east coast of Africa and have gained a renowned reputation for producing notoriously complex coffee. Ethiopian coffee, whilst complex, is diverse and develops an array of flavors from citrus, bergamot, and floral to fruity or even tropical, depending on the technique employed to process the coffee. Kenyan coffee is often described as having a winey taste, full body, and high acidity. Tanzanian coffee is also full-bodied with a winy taste. However, it has less acidity than Kenyan coffee. Combined, these three coffees produce an espresso blend that will please anyone looking for a challenge.
