Bird Rock
Monkey Bite Espresso
Brown Sugar, Apricot, Butterscotch
This coffee's rich and sweet like brown sugar, full of butterscotch and dried apricot notes and is probably the only coffee inspired by a monkey attack. It's roasted to excel through the espresso machine and works well with or without a little milk added. (You'll be glad to know that the victim, Chuck, has since made a full recovery.)
Roaster notes
"This espresso is a top seller at our cafes, and fun fact: it was name after the harrowing monkey attack our founder Chuck suffered in Kenya. Our seasonal blend is carefully tested to pull a delicious straight espresso, while also kicking goals in milk-based drinks like a cortado. It works as a brewed cup of coffee, too!"
