Old Friend Espresso Blend

Old Friend is our staple coffee here at Thunder. It is at the heart of each espresso drink we make and is selected specifically to bring forward a profile suitable for complex but easy-to-drink espresso. Our current Old Friend is a 50/50 blend of a washed Colombia and a washed Guatemala.

The first half Old Friend is the Suukala lot from SICEET, located in the Cauca region of Colombia.  This coffee is fully washed, as the climate in the area presents challenges with natural drying. We taste a bright, clean orange with stonefruit and a honey sweetness following.

The second half is a very pleasant Guatemala coffee, grown in the region of El Progreso. The Guatemala brings structure to the cup, with a strong chocolate backbone laying the base for each shot.

Currently: Cauca, Colombia + El Progreso, Guatemala

Flavor Profile: Blueberry, Milk Chocolate, Orange
