Esther Short is a signature filter blend featuring two washed coffees from Colombia and Mexico. These components are roasted separately to develop their individual characteristics before being blended. The resulting medium roast offers a full body with low perceived acidity, highlighting flavor notes of milk chocolate and caramel. Designed for consistent performance, this blend is suitable for batch brewing, automatic coffee makers, and manual drip methods, making it a reliable choice for both commercial and home use.
