Description
When choosing the blend components, we searched for something that could bridge the flavors together the same way that you get when eating a creamsicle. We wanted to source something with a distinct orange flavor and a heavy creamy body that lingered throughout the cup. We came across the perfect coffee to achieve this and then paired with our Peixoto Doce, you get a wonderfully juicy orange quality that settles in, bringing with it fresh notes of peel, zest and juice. Vanilla and sweet cream saturate the finish while also cutting the acidity just enough to create that distinct creamsicle experience. The two coffees in this blend combine in a way that they perfectly highlight each other. We love Cítrico for its flavor profile and balance.

Flavors of orange and chocolate dance on your tongue as you take your first sip. These don’t let up the entire cup but instead trade places as a dominate notes to more subtle, as flavors of roasted almond and caramel take their turn contributing to the taste experience.
