Fruit Bat Espresso is a seasonal espresso blend from Intelligentsia, featuring fruit-forward selections from Ethiopia and Kenya. The coffee is sourced from various smallholders in the Guji and Oromo regions of Ethiopia (elevation 2000-2200m) and Kirinyaga, Kenya (elevation 1500-1800m). Both components are washed and dried on raised beds. Expect a sweet and balanced espresso with notes of blood orange, black cherry, and black currant.
