BRAVA

Brava punches above its weight. Fair Trade, organic-certified, and built around a backbone of dark cocoa nib with a sharp orange-marmalade lift and a little spice in the tail. A small blend that ends up bigger in the cup than you'd expect.

Forgiving across brew methods; espresso brings the cocoa forward; filter brings out the citrus, either works. The spice on the finish shows up cleanest in a long black or unmilked filter.

Distinctive, invigorating, well-mannered enough for any time of day. Drink it morning, drink it afternoon, drink it last thing at night — it'll keep up wherever you put it.
