Of course it needs to start with the right coffee beans and your pick of roast, but nutty and fruity notes can also be savored in coffee. My favorite cup is Peet’s Coffee’s deep roast, Guatemala San Sebastian, and the dark roast, Uzuri African Blend. Every time I go in to get my soy café au lait, dry, it’s heaven in a cup.
