Stella Specialty Blend is a balanced coffee combining Costa Rica Finca Tonita and Ethiopia Samii Banko Gotiti. The Costa Rica component provides a smooth foundation with honeyed sweetness, gentle berry acidity, and a creamy mouthfeel. The Ethiopia component adds floral aromatics, juicy citrus fruit, and tropical liveliness. This blend offers a complex flavor profile featuring notes of peach, orange blossom, honey, and forest berries, finishing with a silky black tea elegance. It is a versatile blend designed for both structure and vibrancy.
