This single-origin blend of direct trade coffees is sourced from our network of family farms in El Salvador. Signature is a time-honored classic, and we’ve spent over two decades honing and crafting this multipurpose, dependable and delicious coffee. The rich, nutty flavors imparted by coffees grown at Ayutepeque coalesce with a splash of natural process coffee from El Manzano to provide a pleasant, fruity sweetness with a heavy, syrupy texture. Brew this coffee as espresso, drip, or cold brew, and you’ll see why coffee shops across the country stock their shelves with Signature Espresso.
Our Signature Espresso is emblematic of Topeca’s vertically integrated supply chain. This blend is crafted from coffees sourced directly from our network of farms in the Santa Ana region of El Salvador. Anticipate bold flavors of toffee nut and dark chocolate with a vibrant splash of cherry cordial and a velvety, satisfying texture.
