Balanced Daily Drinker Coffee Blend, Riserva Originale

Riserva Originale is a medium to medium-dark blend with chocolate, caramel, roasted nuts, and brown sugar notes. Brazil and Colombia provide body and sweetness. Sumatra adds depth and spice. Ethiopia adds a clean layer of fruit and acidity. The cup is smooth, low in acidity, and consistent across brew methods.

Best for: Espresso, drip coffee, French press, pour-over, and milk drinks.

Every green coffee lot used in Originale is independently third-party tested for mycotoxins, mold, yeast, and heavy metals before roasting. Only lots that pass enter our roastery.
