This blend is Irving Farm’s twist on a classic espresso.
Blackstrap molasses, the blend’s namesake, is the sweet thick liquid left after the maximum extraction of sugarcane. This blend combines the thickness of a perfect crema with the sweetness of sitting at a European cafe for a morning cappuccino.
Sweet Brazilian coffee composes the base and provides the richness. An Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is added for a brightness akin to the feeling of orange zest in a bar of dark chocolate. Blackstrap’s low acidity pairs well with milk for a full bodied and balanced coffee perfect for each and every espresso drink.

This is our signature product. Blackstrap is always a blend of PNG Lamari, Brazil Minas, and Colombia Monserrate. This coffee was developed to be a sweet, complex, house espresso for New York City. As an espresso it tastes like brown sugar and tropical fruit. In a cortado, cappuccino, or a latte, it balances perfectly with milk to create a complex, sweet, and classic tasting specialty coffee.
This coffee is our house espresso and drip coffee.
Blackstrap is about 50% of all of the coffee that we sell!
