Bristol Twenty Buena Decada
Dark Espresso Roast
Introducing Buena Decada – a blend that pays homage to our past while embracing a new era of coffee at Bristol Twenty. Thoughtfully crafted from Brazilian, Ethiopian, and Salvadoran beans, this espresso roast combines the unique qualities of each origin to deliver an exceptionally well-rounded cup, perfect for both espresso purists and milk-based drink enthusiasts alike.
Buena Decada begins with Brazilian arabicas from San Coffee the heart of Minas Gerais. Known for their ability to take on darker roasts without developing bitterness, these beans form the backbone of the blend with their velvety chocolate undertones and nutty richness, perfect for a deep, satisfying base. The Brazilian beans bring smooth, chocolatey warmth that holds up beautifully in milk-based drinks like lattes and cappuccinos, where they balance creamy textures with depth and flavor.
Ethiopian coffee adds vibrancy, infusing Buena Decada with bright, fruity notes that lift and add complexity to the blend. Ethiopia’s characteristic floral and citrus flavors bring a lively acidity, which creates a stunning contrast to the darker, chocolaty Brazilian base. This touch of fruitiness enlivens each sip, making it perfect for an americano where the complexity can fully shine through.
Rounding out the profile are beans from El Salvador, which contribute a soft, mellow sweetness and a clean, crisp finish. Salvadoran coffee is known for its well-balanced profile, adding a layer of smooth caramel sweetness and a hint of floral undertones, ensuring a refined and elegant finish to each cup. This sweetness creates an approachable, smooth espresso shot that’s enjoyable on its own or mixed in a classic cortado or macchiato.
Roasted in small batches to maintain the integrity of each bean’s flavor, Buena Decada embodies the skill and passion behind every blend we create at Bristol Twenty. The unique combination of these three origins offers a taste that’s both bold and refined, ideal for espresso lovers who appreciate depth and a balanced complexity in their coffee.
