Next Roasted Espresso 9/29: Sweet Maria's Altiplano Blend
Product Overview
Product Overview
Sure, green coffee is our specialty. But we also roast two delicious single-origin coffees every other week, as well as a limited amount of darker roasts for espresso. Each bag of roasted coffee is weighed to 1 FULL pound, not some chintzy 12 ounce bag! We roast every other week, and all orders must be received by 3:00pm PST the night before in order for us to account for your order in our roast batches.
This coffee will be roasted 9/29, so please place your order by 3:00 pm PST on 9/28.
Roasted to Full City +: Balanced bittersweets, rich chocolate, carbonized sugars, toasted nut.
Never miss another roast week by signing up for our $40 roasted coffee subscription service, where you can enjoy 2 lbs of freshly roasted coffee from our Probat roaster at Sweet Maria's Coffee every other week. With a roasted coffee subscription we ship you two different single origin coffees roasted between a City-Full City roast. We choose the coffees so you don't have to!

Origin & Farm Notes
The coffees of Central America are go-to ingredients for us when we want to bring body and sweetness to an espresso blend. So it stands to reason that blending all Central American coffees would only enhance those aspects even more, right? After tasting this trio all blended together, the answer is a resounding "yes". "Altiplano" is the word we are using for high plains, not to be confused with THE Altiplano in South America. From the Cordillera Central in Costa Rica, to the Los Cuchumatanes in Guatemala, to the Los Arados mountains in Nicaragua, we bring in a wide variety of coffees with unique cup profile, and that all work extremely well as espresso. Blended together, the resulting cup or espresso has balance, and with an acidity that is controlled by roast development. This blend was built with espresso in mind, and includes all wet-process coffees that offer balanced flavors, body, and well-integrated acidity too. Roasting to City+ will have the highest tones in the cup, though we prefer at least Full City in our espresso machine. Full City/Full City+ will produce a more "classic" espresso profile with chocolate roast pungency, deep sweetness, and a fruited acidity that to me has an orange zest-like quality. Altiplano is seasonal blend, and we'll be rotating new coffees in as they become available, updating the review when necessary.
