A sweet espresso that gets even sweeter with milk. This is what you expect from your Sweet Dream.
This espresso will treat you with a very nice, thick body and a clean aftertaste and it has this super milky/silky texture—all the qualities that Colombian coffees usually deliver!
The main taste notes are those of the sweets, like dark chocolate, caramel truffle, and chicory ice cream, along with a big nutty, buttery mouthfeel—reminding of Brazil nuts. At the same time, a hint of fruitiness appears at the back with notes of white grape, white grapefruit, and lingonberry.
Combining with milk, it becomes milder, even sweeter. The dark chocolate develops into a gentler and sweeter version and has this texture of porous white chocolate - sweet and buttery. We can easily imagine “Raffaello” by Ferrero—blanched almonds with that white signature buttercream. Yummy!
