The tasting notes on my bag of Tide are a little bit different from the picture I pulled off the website, so I'm assuming this one has a little bit of seasonal variation.
I think this is a very good espresso, more towards a medium by speciality standards. Appealing aroma, dark chocolate driven. Dark chocolate is definitely the driver here, but there's a bunch of cherry and blackberry notes here. Very sweet with a syrupy mouthfeel. I don't get tons of complexity but the depth of flavor is quite good.Cupping Method:Espressos and lattes.

Great. I love the molasses note. My daughter and son-in-law loved this roaster when they lived in Oakland. -
More Details
Roast Level:
Dark
Dark roast coffee features a more intense, robust flavor profile due to its longer roasting time. Therefore, when selecting a dark roast, expect less acidity, a full body, and flavors like dark chocolate, smokiness, and a hint of bitterness.
Espresso
Espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage brewed by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee beans under high pressure. It is characterized by its rich flavor and distinctive crema, which is the creamy layer that forms on top of the extracted process.
When evaluating espresso, coffee experts often focus on key tasting characteristics such as aroma, flavor, body, and aftertaste. Aroma refers to the fragrant smells released during brewing, while flavor encompasses the coffee's overall taste profile, including notes of sweetness, bitterness, acidity, and richness. Body refers to the coffee's texture or mouthfeel, with descriptors like full-bodied, medium-bodied, or light-bodied. Aftertaste, or the finish, pertains to the lingering flavors and sensations experienced after swallowing the coffee. A well-prepared espresso is prized for its balance and complexity, combining these sensory attributes into a harmonious whole.
