Blue Bottle blends Latin American coffees for this espresso, bringing together citrus brightness and sweetness that lands somewhere between toffee and brown sugar. Floral and fruity accents weave through the cup alongside a rounded dark chocolate note, creating a balanced, medium-bodied profile with enough liveliness to cut through milk or stand on its own.

Founded by James Freeman in the early 2000s in Oakland's Temescal District, Blue Bottle began when the former clarinetist started roasting coffee in a 186-square-foot converted potting shed, gradually building a cult following for his meticulously crafted single-origin coffees. In 2017, Nestlé acquired a 68% majority stake in the company in a deal valuing Blue Bottle at over $700 million, though the brand maintains its focus on quality and craft coffee culture.
