Coffee Collective - El Morito Espresso - 250g

The story:
Our partners at Coffee Collective fell head over heels for this organic powerhouse lot and decided to roast it specifically to dominate your portafilter. Produced by Marcos Flores and the Flores family at Finca El Morito in Querocotillo, Peru, these beans thrive at a rock-solid high-altitude sweet spot of 1550–1750 masl. This is an elite heirloom trio of Caturra, Bourbon, and Typica that has been washed with absolute precision to keep the sweetness concentrated and the defects at absolute zero.

The taste:
This is a liquid confectionery masterpiece with serious backbone. The shot coats your palate with a massive, heavy-bodied wave of buttery praliné and deeply caramelized hazelnut oils. Right as that dense sweetness threatens to take over your entire mouth, a tight, crisp hint of orange citrus zest cuts through the syrupy weight, keeping the extraction balanced, vibrant, and incredibly smooth from start to lingering finish.

The feeling:
This is engineered for the home barista who wants an espresso shot that pulls like a dream and punches straight through milk without any sour, battery-acid surprises. If your goal is a thick, syrupy double-shot that tastes like a premium candy bar when locked into a latte—or a perfectly round, sweet ristretto—this medium roast Peruvian gem is your new daily baseline.
