The Collaboration Espresso Blend from Family Coffee Trade is a technical study in balance, uniting two distinct farming philosophies into a singular cup experience. By pairing the deep, structural sweetness of Alta Mogiana (Brazil) with the refined, high-altitude character of Olopa (Guatemala), this blend is engineered specifically for modern espresso extraction. The roasting profile is carefully calibrated to develop the heavy sugars required for milk-based drinks while maintaining the delicate fruit-driven acidity that defines the Guatemalan component. This approach ensures a stable, uniform extraction that remains legible across a variety of water temperatures and pressure settings.
The sensory experience is defined by a dense and syrupy profile, featuring a foundational base of dark chocolate and toasted caramel. A refined tactile mouthfeel provides a velvet-like coating, which is punctuated by a bright, fleeting note of fresh raspberries. When dialed in at the roaster's recommended specifications, the profile highlights a vibrant raspberry acidity that transitions into a lingering dark chocolate finish. This complex interplay of roasted nuts and fruit sugars creates an articulate espresso that is both reliable for daily use and sophisticated enough for critical tasting.
To reach the sweet spot for this blend, we recommend the following espresso parameters:
- Dose: 20g
- Yield: 40g to 50g
- Time: 30 seconds
This specific ratio is designed to maximize the raspberry clarity while anchoring the cup with a deep, chocolatey finish.
