el recreo is a washed espresso blend from el parche coffee roasters, drawing on colombian caturra from the tolima region and brazilian beans. the washed process keeps the cup clean and defined, letting the coffee's winey acidity sit alongside caramel sweetness and layers of milk and dark chocolate. it's built for espresso, where pressure and concentration pull those chocolate and caramel notes into focus. pull it as a straight shot or use it as the base for milk drinks, where the darker chocolate character holds up well against steamed milk.
