Leftist Espresso Blend

Our baristas pull shots of Leftist all day every day, so can you blame us for being obsessed with it? This mix of single-origin coffees is optimized for espresso, but we've crafted it so it tells a story with any extraction method. From sweet red fruit at the start to brown sugar middle and a balanced resinous finish, Leftist is intense, flavorful, viscous, and complex. It shines through the sweetness of milk and stands alone, giving your palate something to smile about while your brain and body crank into overdrive. The blend components are always changing with new crop releases, so contact us for an updated blend profile.

Each of our blends starts with an idea. Sometimes we're inspired by a craft beer or fine wine; sometimes we want to showcase an outstanding bean or create our own version of a traditional blend. Our roaster takes this idea into the cupping room, where we spread out a palette of single-origin beans. The blend comes together like a puzzle, piece by piece. First comes the anchoring base note; next we choose the high note and finish. Finally we tune the proportions to bring the whole mix into balance, so that no one flavor dominates. The resulting blend is greater than the sum of its parts.
