Juncalito
Juncalito
This cozy cup of coffee brings us home. It's robust with a comforting weighty body, reminiscent of everything that is familiar. It's deep, ripe flavors of black cherries and figs are complemented by a lingering sweetness, layered on top of a pleasantly bitter cup. Perfect for adding milk or pure cane sugar, as is customary in the Cibao. Our darkest roast with a syrupy texture that fully envelops you, much like a warm blanket on a chilly morning, the kind when the clouds' mist lingers low over the grounds of mountains.
