This is a blend of beans that taste testers have sampled and chosen to make a wonderful Espresso cup.  Espresso is both a coffee beverage and a brewing method.  It is not a specific bean or roast level.  There is no such thing as an Espresso coffee tree. Any bean or roasting level can  be used to produce authentic espresso.  In southern Italy, a darker roast is generally preferred.  Farther north, the trend moves toward slightly lighter roasts, while outside Italy a wide range is popular.  
Choose your preferred roast level and we will do our best to perfect it for your specific taste.
       Medium-Dark to a Dark roast is recommended.
