Espresso Havana

Tasting Notes 

Sweet and spicy, dark chocolate, toasted nuts, cedar and smoke. Creamy coating mouthfeel, especially as a straight shot. With the addition of milk this espresso sweetens considerably, adding notes of chocolate milk, cherry and vanilla. Our absolute favorite for making cappuccinos.

Background Info 

When we first launched Espresso Havana - way back in 2006 - we were aiming to build a Dark Roast espresso that would pair nicely with cigars: something a bit darker with sweet & spicy tobacco-like flavors that amplified in milk based beverages.

The new 2024 iteration is that and more! Espresso Havana weaves notes of citrus peel, cherry, and milk chocolate from our Nicaragua Gesha Natural , with heavy bodied, smoke and spice from our Aged Sumatra Lintong. You'll find it absolutely transform with the addition of steamed milk, from heavy, spicy and broody to creamy and incredibly sweet.
