Details
On its own (black), expect a full and balanced cup with soft cocoa, stone fruit brightness, and nutty warmth. When paired with milk, it becomes richer: chocolate-forward, rounded sweetness, caramel and praline layers. A go-to for cafés aiming for consistent quality in lattes, flat whites, cappuccinos, or any creamy drink.
