1936 espresso is a medium roast blend from fernwood coffee company, combining ethiopian bourbon from the guji region with brazilian bourbon, both processed naturally. natural processing means the coffee dried with the fruit intact, which draws out the chocolate character you get in the cup, specifically milk chocolate and dark chocolate. the medium roast keeps things balanced without pushing into bitter or ashy territory. it suits espresso well, pulling a sweet, cocoa-forward shot, though it should hold up equally well as a stovetop or french press brew if you prefer something less concentrated.

common questions

What does 1936 Espresso taste like?
