Pantomime - Blend - Medium

What started as a seasonal espresso blend somehow became one of the most permanent offerings at Odd Box. Pantomime is now our most popular coffee, and for good reason. If you're not sure where to start, this is a pretty darn good place.

Like all of our blends, Pantomime is a blended post-roast. Meaning, we roast each coffee separately, bringing out the characteristics we like most from each one, then blend them together afterward. It gives us much more control over the final flavor and lets us play matchmaker with coffees that might otherwise never meet.

Pantomime leans lighter, but there's enough roast development to put it comfortably in the medium roast camp. As espresso, the Ethiopian component really shines, bringing citrusy notes and crisp acidity to the party. Colombian and Brazilian coffees fill things out with sweet toffee and milk chocolate, giving the whole blend a little more weight and balance.

And if you're a latte person, you're in luck. Those toffee and chocolate notes have enough oomph to push through the dairy, making for a smooth, velvety, ridiculously drinkable cup.

Of course, Pantomime doesn't require an espresso machine. It makes a great drip coffee, too! Because apparently being our most popular espresso blend wasn't enough (overachiever).
