Espresso Savio is our hallmark seasonal espresso blend. The current offering is a two-part blend composed of:

2/3 Los Santos, a washed Guatemalan coffee from Luis Pedro Zelaya

1/3 Fazenda Primavera, a naturally processed coffee from Ricardo Tavares in the Chapadas de Minas region of Brazil

We’ve found that this blend excels with a little less...
read more water than we used for our previous Savio rendition. This puts more focus on the heavy body and saturated chocolate/vanilla/brown sugar sweetness, which we’ve found tastes best with all of our milk drinks here in the cafe.
