The result of a careful and thoughtful calibration, these chocolate covered espresso beans are a triumph leagues beyond anything you may have found at the grocer. The nature of these peaberry coffee beans from Kenya causes them to be quite dense and packed with sugars, ripe for a wide array of caramelization reactions within the roasting process. A well-developed roast prepares them for a generous coat of rich and complex 62% dark chocolate from Huila Colombia, not far from where some of our proudest single origin coffees are grown. The soil in this area adds a depth of familiar flavor to the composition, resulting in a highly intentional and artisanal reimagination of a modern delicacy. • Terroir Chocolate: 62% Colombia | Peanut & Sesame (without inclusions) • Coffee: Krampus Note: I f it's still 80+ where you live, please consider delaying your purchase and as always choose commercial address delivery when possible and track your shipment closely and bring it inside as soon as possible

My husband absolutely loves these, and I often sneak a few myself. The dark chocolate is wonderfully smooth and rich, not overly sweet, and the espresso bean inside has a pleasant crunch and deep, authentic coffee flavor. It’s definitely a step above what you typically find at the grocery store, making it a little luxury that's worth it for a treat. They really nailed the balance of flavors.
These are a really sophisticated snack. The dark chocolate is rich and smooth, and the espresso beans inside have a fantastic, deep coffee flavor that isn't too bitter. You can tell the ingredients are high quality.
These espresso beans taste quite good, with a nice balance of the rich dark chocolate and the coffee flavor. The bittersweet notes are definitely there, which I appreciate in a dark chocolate snack. My main issue is the texture of the beans themselves; they are extremely hard and take a lot of effort to chew. I prefer a slightly less dense bean that gives a bit more easily, especially for a snack I want to enjoy regularly.
I've tried many chocolate covered espresso beans over the years, and these are truly superior. The 62% dark chocolate has a complex, robust flavor that perfectly complements the intense coffee bean. It's a fantastic pick-me-up during the workday.
