GRINGO - Radical Espresso - Filter - 250g

The story:
Our partners at Gringo decided to drop a certified organic bomb on the espresso world with Radical Espresso. This isn't a blend for the faint of heart; it’s an international tactical alliance. They laid a heavy, robust foundation with Sumatra Gayo Ketiara and Brazil Fazenda Dutra, then spiked the roast with an elite double-shot of Ethiopian beans—Guji Ambella Natural and Suke Quto Washed. This is a dark roast given extra spins in the drum specifically to obliterate acidity and force the bittersweet oils to the surface.

The taste:
This is a thick, syrupy heavyweight that coats your mouth like liquid velvet. You’re getting hit right away with a dark, bittersweet punch of baker's chocolate and a distinct, mildly spicy kick of cracked peppercorns. Just when it threatens to become a total punch to the throat, the Ethiopian components slice through the smoke, injecting a heavy, dark-fruit layer of ripe berries that gives the whole cup a complex, brooding finish.

The feeling:
This is for the "I want my espresso to punch through milk like a runaway train" crowd. If you hate sour shots and want a dark, intense, and heavily full-bodied beast that can dominate a latte or stand alone as an uncompromising, bold ristretto, this is your weapon of choice. It’s organic, it’s loud, and it makes no apologies for its heavy-handed attitude.
