Did I Forget to Mention?

Red FlagGabe sent me some samples from his new roasting project out at Ritual in San Fransisco. His “Red Flag” espresso blend is a bit different then what we’re used to here in NY, be it our own Gimme! Coffee Leftist Blend, or the ubiquitous Toscano from Counter Culture, available at many other fine purveyors of specialty coffee in New York. Lots of citrus up front, balanced nicely by some chocolate undertones in the rear. Think “chocolate orange” and smash it on the counter before serving.

Thanks Gabe!
