Recieving an incredible 95 point rating from Coffee Review!

This Espresso is dedicated to the founders of Dragonfly Coffee Roasters daughter: Emma Jo. We created this blend to celebrate coffee, the people who grow it, the people who roast, the people who prepare it, and those who dare to follow a dream. We hope you enjoy and live with passion! 

"Blind Assesment: Fruit-forward, chocolaty, intricately structured. Blood orange, dark chocolate, saffron, lavender in aroma and small cup. Plump, silky mouthfeel; citrus, lavender and chocolate notes carry into a long, rich, expansive finish. The chocolate, flowers and fruit round but resonate harmoniously in three parts milk.

This blend of three coffees includes a fully washed Central America (all fruit residue removed from beans before drying), a pulped-natural from South America (only skin removed before drying) and a natural-processed coffee from East Africa (all the fruit remains on the beans during drying). 

Who Should Drink It: Those who value a remarkable espresso that reads as an elegantly balanced triangle of fruit, chocolate and flowers!"
