Teddy’s Blend

Rotating seasonal blend. This particular lot is balanced and bittersweet, with such a creamy mouthfeel as espresso. There’s a hint of fruit to be found too, though far from a fruity blend. While intended for espresso, I think full immersion brewing will do well to highlight body, not to mention the syrup, bittersweet cup profile. The flavor profile is chocolatey through and through, the dry fragrance marked by smells of cocoa powder and a hint of dried date, the wet aroma more of a dark chocolate and molasses smell that’s incredibly potent. As espresso, Full City shots have this dark, syrupy aspect underneath that comes off like a dark chocolate sundae topping, a flavor that really hangs around in the aftertaste. It also has a tangy aspect that fits in like shaved lemon peel on the rim of your demitasse (so ’90’s!). What I think you’ll mostly find here are shots gushing with syrupy, thick chocolate bittersweetness, and flavor notes of high % cacao-chocolate bars, rich chocolate truffles, and dark chocolate syrup. The flavors are incredibly intense, as if shouting all at once, finding space and identity in the middle and finish. The aftertaste is just so long and contemplative, and flavor notes hint at raisin, praline almond, ‘cocoa crispies’, Baker’s chocolate, and so much more.
