Rare Groove

Roaster notes

Rare Groove is like a subgenre off the mainstream—the B-side of a classic espresso blend. This dark roast combines coffees from Ethiopia, Colombia, and India, sourced from producers known for fruit-forward profiles but roasted darker than usual. Where acidity would normally lead, warm sweetness and smoky notes round out the flavor spectrum, creating a chocolatey cup with creamy body. A blend for those who love classic espresso but want something with more funk and groove in the finish.
