Feels Good
Summary
Feels Good is an organic espresso blend from ST. ALi, composed of 60% Peru and 40% India. The Peruvian component is a Grade 1 Organic selection known for clean sweetness and bright acidity, while the Indian component from Chikmagalur adds softness and balance. Washed processed, this light roast offers notes of red apple, maple syrup, stone fruit, caramel, and black tea. It is versatile, suitable for espresso, pour-over, and filter brewing, and pairs well with full cream dairy.
