Full details

Medium-dark espresso with fruit notes.

RED ALERT! is an African espresso blend. Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania. Medium-dark roast with structure and brightness underneath — not just weight.

Complex without being messy. Sharp without being sour. Most dark espresso is all body, no character. This one has both.

Who this is for: Espresso drinkers who want brightness. Moka pot. Anyone tired of one-dimensional dark roasts.

Origins: Kenya (Ena co-op, 300 smallholders, 1,600-1,800m), Tanzania Peaberry (Southern Highlands), Ethiopia natural process (Sidama, 2,000-2,200m)

Body: 🚀🚀🚀🚀 — dark, structured, energetic

I liked it a lot, it was more of a medium-dark, dark leaning. Very smooth
