Mountain View Blend
Mountain View Blend brings together coffees from Africa and South America in a medium roast designed around balance, sweetness and expressive fruit character. Fruity notes lead the cup, supported by warm spice and developing sweetness.
Medium acidity provides gentle brightness without dominating, while the smooth, rounded body keeps the coffee approachable and satisfying. The cup finishes clean and sweet, with a lingering smoothness that makes it equally enjoyable black, with milk, or as espresso.
