Hayes Valley Espresso

Summary

Hayes Valley Espresso is a dark roast blend of organic coffees from the Americas, named after the San Francisco neighborhood that houses Blue Bottle's first brick-and-mortar location. The coffee is washed processed and roasted low and slow to the edge of darkness, producing a thick, sweet, and caramelly espresso with a full mouthfeel and voluptuous crema. Flavour notes include baking chocolate, orange zest, and brown sugar, inspired by chocolate-dipped orange peel. It serves as the base for all Blue Bottle cafe drinks and can be brewed as espresso or pour-over.
