Blend Descriptions

Blends

For Espresso Vivace I chose the Northern Italian espresso roast during my early Italian explorations in 1989. The defining characteristic of this roast is the high caramelized sugar content of the coffee. As coffee is roasted it generates caramelized sugars, carbon dioxide, a multitude of origin flavors, and heat.

Vita Blend

Our Vita Blend is comprised of expertly roasted varietals to bring out strong caramel notes, especially when combined with milk products. Vita is the more versatile of our two blends and tastes great in a café latte, as straight espresso, in a French Press, pour overs, or drip coffee.

Dolce Blend

Our gold cup espresso blend was created to offer the most complex and balanced flavors possible in straight espresso or black coffee. Our Dolce Blend features a heavy red-gold crema with a sweet floral presence and a rich note of chocolate.

Decaf

We offer a 100% Swiss Water Decaffeinated Ugandan Ekende that features a smooth caramel flavored profile and no acidity, made exclusively for Espresso Vivace.

Single Bean Varietals

Ugandan:  Very heavy body featuring bold chocolate umami.

Indian Malabar:  Flavor notes of salted caramel and leather, this coffee has the highest caramelized sugar content in the world.

Brazilian Yellow Bourbon: A medium bodied varietal with notes of chocolate and apple.
