Crafted for a superb performance in any espresso beverage, Fair Trade Organic Espresso Blend is sourced from a number of origins to display both balance and intensity. We look to Indonesia for syrupy body and depth, and the America's for chocolate notes, velvety richness, and just the right amount of brightness to punctuate lattes and cappuccinos. A blend of different roasts and origins that harmonizes beautifully straight or with milk.

Flavor Chart

We originally developed this blend in concert with the chefs of Shelburne Farms, who use Organic Espresso Blend to serve in their dining room as drip, French press and espresso coffees.

"When in our tasting room, the highest pleasure is to take some time, some Organic Espresso Blend and some focus and make a few shots for guests, colleagues, and myself. It is almost a meditative experience. People can come into our area, muddled or with a headache, and a well made shot of espresso with our Organic Espresso Blend can launch them into happiness, clarity and feeling strong and confident. It offers a complexity, sweetness, balance and depth in aroma and flavor that is so invigorating, so inspiring, as to make one just plain happy to be alive."

Rating: 86 Points (out of 100)
Coffee Review 86 points Assessed as espresso. Sweetly wood in the aroma, with a hint of dark chocolate and a savory, almost salty note. The same aromatic complex carries into the cup, though the wood warms toward cedar and the dark chocolate intensifies. Medium to full body. Heavy but sweet finish with a continuing chocolate note. In milk softens and sweetens appropriately but the shadow savory salt note continues to haunt the chocolate.

While blended especially for espresso preparation, our Fair Trade Organic Espresso Blend makes an excellent drip coffee as well.

Based in the Segovia region of northern Nicaragua, PRODECOOP now includes 40 cooperatives and 2,318 families.

With revenues from Fair Trade sales, PRODECOOP has purchased a dry mill, and new machinery and equipment, all of which contribute to the cooperative’s quality standards. Fair Trade revenue and funding from various institutions have allowed PRODECOOP to install a quality control center and cupping lab. PRODECOOP has also implemented quality standards for its dry milling process and is currently creating a quality control center to regulate its export production.

PRODECOOP received high scores at the 2003 Nicaraguan Cup of Excellence competition, solid proof of the cooperative's attention to quality.
