Gearbox Coffee - Tacco/Punta #5 – Specialty Blend
Tacco/Punta #5 is a specialty blend that brings together two complementary origins: a natural Brazilian coffee and a washed Mexican coffee. This combination offers a rich, balanced, and particularly accessible cup, ideal for both espresso and pour-over methods.
The Brazilian coffee, from the Minas Gerais region and of the Red Catuaí variety, contributes body, sweetness, and a beautiful chocolatey depth. The Mexican coffee, cultivated in the mountains of Chiapas from the Marsellesa variety, provides aromatic complexity and a pleasant liveliness.
In the cup, Tacco/Punta #5 reveals generous notes of ripe cherry, intense dark chocolate, maple syrup, and freshly made waffle. A comforting combination that will appeal to lovers of rich and balanced coffees.
