The Review
Before checking out the review, make sure you know what kind of preferences I already have. I do my best to avoid bias in reviews, but feel free to check our bit on “flavors” on our about page.
They are famed for their “Fable Espresso” blend. It is a popular choice for straight espresso with caramel, red apple, and chocolate notes. It is no surprise the Fable team sent this over for review.
Espresso and Beans
It took me a handful of attempts to get dialed in, but since I am on a new setup, I think it will improve over time as I get more experienced. This espresso blend is primarily a medium roast. It smells lovely and has deeper bark aromas. It did not bite as much as I expected for a medium roast. I was getting the bitterness profile of red apple and citrus, which is sometimes difficult to describe. The sweetness profile was light caramel, with some dark chocolate notes.
Price: $25/lb
Score: 9.2/10
Final Thoughts and Verdict
I would recommend this to anyone who regularly drinks straight espresso. The flavor profiles were sophisticated and enjoyable in straight espresso. I would even say refreshing. That said, this blend was just as delicious in my regularly drank whole milk lattes.
California might end up building a reputation for Espresso as it does with wine!
All the best,
Espresso Bear
