Overview
Our Espresso Blend is crafted with one goal: a balanced, crema-rich espresso that works just as beautifully straight as it does in milk drinks. With 80% washed Naga Arabica forming the smooth, structured base and 20% robust Arunachal Robusta adding body, crema, and chocolate intensity, this blend strikes the sweet spot between strength and elegance.
Roasted to a medium plus, it develops caramel sweetness, chocolate depth, and roasted nut warmth without losing liveliness. It’s bold, smooth, and consistent — a café-style espresso built for daily enjoyment.
💡 Note to customers: If you’d like a dark roast version, please specify at checkout. Otherwise, our medium plus roast is recommended — it’s balanced, versatile, and worth experiencing as is.

Basically:
Who it’s for: Coffee lovers who crave a true espresso experience — bold, crema-rich, and versatile enough for both straight shots and milk drinks.
Best Brewing (tips): Use fresh, filtered water and pre-warm your cup. Pull at a 1:2 ratio (25–30 sec) for balance. For milk drinks, pair with microfoamed milk to bring out caramel sweetness.
The 80:20 ratio is the classic espresso backbone:
Arabica (80%) delivers clarity, sweetness, and a structured base.
Robusta (20%) brings rich crema, stronger body, and chocolate bitterness for balance.
This combination makes the blend versatile — excellent as a straight espresso, but also strong enough to cut through milk for cappuccinos and lattes. Medium plus roast ensures depth without harshness.
Espresso Machine (Classic Shot): 18 g in → 36 g out → 25–30 sec. Use fresh, filtered water for a smoother cup.
Doppio Hack: For a stronger kick, run a slightly longer extraction (1:2.5 ratio) for denser body without bitterness.
Cappuccino Tip: Stretch milk to microfoam, not froth — espresso sweetness comes alive with fine-textured milk.
Latte Hack: Pull a slightly shorter shot (ristretto style) for richer chocolate tones before adding milk.
Iced Espresso: Brew double shots directly over ice; top with soda water for a refreshing “Espresso Tonic.”
Espresso is theatre. The hiss of the machine, the slow pour of syrupy liquid, the golden crema that crowns the cup — it’s a ritual that demands balance.
Our Espresso Blend is made for that stage. The smooth backbone of Naga Arabica carries sweetness and clarity, while a measured touch of Arunachal Robusta adds depth, crema, and the boldness that lingers. Together, they create a cup where dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and caramel unfold slowly, softened by a gentle citrus lift that keeps the experience alive.
Sipped as a short shot, it’s strong yet refined. Stirred into milk, it transforms into cappuccinos and lattes that are indulgent without heaviness. Roasted to medium plus, this blend respects both body and brightness — a cup that feels rich but never bitter.
For those who seek something darker, we’ll roast it deeper on request. But we believe this medium plus is the sweet spot — where espresso’s strength and elegance live in harmony.
