bear hug espresso is a washed blend from dogwood coffee's northeast roastery, combining beans from brazil and peru. the washed process strips the fruit before drying, which tends to keep the cup clean and lets the bean's core character come through. here that means milk chocolate and dark chocolate, making it a straightforward, crowd-friendly espresso. pull it as a straight shot or with milk, both work well with a chocolate-forward profile like this. dial in your grind to taste, as a blend of two origins may need a touch more extraction time to balance the two components.
