Beansmith Coffee - Tigerlily Espresso 

Our premium espresso blend is named for its amazing striping in its buttery crema. This Northern Italian style espresso is carefully roasted to a "full city" roast, yielding a flavorful shot that's not over-roasted or burnt tasting. Home baristas and coffee shop pros have been raving about this espresso, and we consider it to be our definitive blend. This season's Tigerlily presents a silky body with soft fruit notes and a hint of earthiness. 

Espresso blending is a relatively young art, and has gone through many trends over the course of the past 100 years. Crema-obsessed traditional Italian blends (that include robusta) have given way to “bold” American French roast blends, and more recently, to a new world of lighter roasted blends and even single origin espressos that boast exciting notes of tangy goodness. 

Whether it is to be used as the base of a frothy latte, or to be sipped as a stand-alone treat, Beansmith is always chasing the perfect shot. We pull our inspiration from the art of blending that has come before us, but challenge ourselves to discover whatever is around the next corner, playing off the intense flavors of today’s specialty coffees. 

We offer espressos that range from familiar to challenging, letting taste be our guide.

Victrola Coffee - Streamline Espresso

There is the crema, brick red-brown and thick. Its pillowy viscosity clings to the sides of the warm demitasse. In a swirl around the cup, it offers fleeting notes of fresh pine that plump into a full, soft caramel aroma. Streamline's fruit---juicy blueberry and blackberry--carries it across the palate slowly: toasted hazelnuts, bittersweet chocolate, and brown sugar each take their time on the tongue before melting into a butter frosting mouth-feel. The four coffees working together here are a linear, tight knit bunch. They have dinner together and laugh until their bellies hurt, kind of like us.

Organic Peru Huabal - Cenfrocafe Cooperative

Flavors of plum and dark cherry with citrusy acidity and a rich, almond sweetness.

Notes of Plum, Black Cherry & Citrus

Altitude: 1450-1900 Meters
Varietals: Typica, Caturra
Process: Washed
Region: Huabal, Cajamarca

This lot from our partners at Cenfrocafe marks a new phase in one of our oldest relationships. Cenfrocafe was founded in 1999 with 220 small-scale coffee farmers in 11 community-based organizations. Today it serves 2,000 farmers in 52 organizations. As the cooperative has grown, our direct contact with individual growers has diminished. This lot is the result of a new initiative that seeks to change that. Working with Cenfrocafe, we’ve arranged a direct relationship with the farmers surrounding a single village, Huabal–an arrangement that provides us with more consistent coffees and an avenue to work directly with the same growers year in and year out. On the whole, the village produces around three containers of coffee a year; we’re buying a third of that. Like all of Cenfrocafe’s coffees, this lot’s been sorted and separated meticulously. Huabal boasts some of the highest altitudes within Cenfrocafe with some areas situated above 1,900 meters. We’re pleased as punch with this release from the Huabal growers: plumy and rounded with notes of dark cherry and citrus.
