Originally developed for the legendary Mount Washington Ice Festival, Dropline is as dark and mysterious as a february dawn patrol on the crag. Dark Chocolate and deep notes of raspberry torte make up this blend of choice for the rugged outdoors set. So grab your axe and send it with Dropline!
In every sip of Dropline, you'll discover the harmonious result of diverse processing methods – washed, semi-washed, and natural – each lending its unique character to the mix. The blend showcases a variety of coffee cultivars, including Catuai, Mondo Novo, and Caturra from Brazil, alongside prized Ethiopian heirloom varieties.
The first note to greet your palate is the intense, earthy richness of cacao nibs – a testament to our careful roasting process that brings out the deepest flavors without sacrificing complexity. This chocolatey backbone provides the perfect canvas for the surprising brightness of raspberry torte, a fruity sweetness that dances on your tongue and speaks to the Ethiopian beans in the blend.
The Brazilian components contribute a full body and smooth mouthfeel, creating a robust base that stands up beautifully in milk-based drinks. Meanwhile, the Ethiopian coffee adds layers of subtle complexity and a lingering fruitiness that keeps you coming back for more. It's this interplay of bold and bright, of deep and delicate, that makes Dropline a truly exceptional dark roast experience.
