Tasting notes

About this bean

Punch Buggy Espresso is a light roast from Detour, sourced from Brazil. It is prepared using the other method. Light roasts retain more of the origin character and tend to taste brighter, with more pronounced acidity. They are denser than darker roasts, so they usually need a finer grind and a longer extraction to dial in. The roaster lists tasting notes of Chocolate, Cherry and Caramel. Tasting notes are the roaster's reference, not a guarantee; your cup will be shaped by your grinder, water and recipe.
