Stronghold

The chocolate-forward notes really shine through without any bitterness, and the low acidity makes it smooth enough to sip black even late afternoon. This is my second bag of Stronghold and the Papua New Guinea component adds a depth that keeps me coming back.

That thick, syrupy mouthfeel is exactly what I've been chasing in an espresso—it coats the tongue without any harsh bite. Pulled a shot this morning and the low acidity made it smooth enough to drink black, which I rarely do. Definitely my new go-to for lazy weekend cortados.

Pulled a double shot this morning and the mouthfeel was so thick and velvety I almost didn't add milk. Low acidity means it goes down easy even black, which is rare for me. This bag won't last long.
