Recon Blend - African Espresso is a medium dark roast coffee crafted for bold coffee lovers. This premium blend combines coffee beans from Kenya, Tanzania, and Ethiopia, three of the most renowned coffee-growing regions, to create a distinct and high-quality espresso experience. Designed for both commercial and home use, Recon Blend offers a balanced profile with bright citrus notes, berry depth, and rich cocoa-spice undertones, making it suitable for a variety of brewing methods.
