take five is a medium-roast espresso blend from h proper coffee roasters, combining beans from ethiopia and brazil's mogiana region. both components are naturally processed, meaning the coffee cherries dried whole before milling, which tends to produce fruit-forward, fuller-bodied cups. the result here leans toward grapefruit, a citrus brightness that sits well in espresso without going sharp. the medium roast keeps sweetness intact while preserving that acidity. pull it as a straight espresso shot to get the clearest read on the grapefruit character, or use it in milk-based drinks where the citrus note cuts through without getting lost.
