Hidden Gem Seasonal Espresso
Price range: $21.00 through $126.00
Hidden Gem is inspired by a San Francisco revival underway since 2002, when the Quesada Gardens transformed a median into a place for education, art, and community.
This final winner of our “San Francisco Revival” espresso contest, local artist Jon Chester, sees the City growing every day in his neighborhood through grassroots efforts and the hard work of the community. Read more about the Quesada Gardens Initiative here.
This fruit-forward blend pays tribute to the Gardens with three of our favorite coffees. San Antonio, from Perú, has deep and complex notes of cola, bakers chocolate, and vermouth. Ethiopia’s Worka has fruity and citrusy notes of watermelon and raspberry. And Santos, from Guatemala, is floral with notes of maple syrup. Together they make for a balanced blend with sweet notes of fruit and chocolate.
