Coffees that taste of chocolate

Of the 182 coffees in this catalogue, 15 carry chocolate as a tasting note — most often Mexico, Peru and Guatemala lots at a medium roast, priced $16.00 – $26.00.

The broad, comfortable middle of the flavour wheel: sweet, round and familiar. Chocolate notes tend to come from the roast and from denser, lower-acid coffees, which is why they anchor most espresso blends.

Most of them are washed-processed, though the note also appears in natural lots. It most often shares a bag with caramel, toffee and raspberry.
