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.
