We were delighted to team up with a local Coffee shop, Siop Shop, and now Roaster SiopTEC, for our latest batch of Persistence Is Utile. For this addition, we added some special nitrogen-macerated beans from the Ratnagiri Estate in India. The result is a luxurious combination of Cherries, Almonds, and Vanilla, balancing the cacao to create a super unique experience.

Sample, thanks fonefan! Viscous black, no head. Aroma of coffee, custard and tonka. Extremely sweet with full body and sticky mouthfeel. Syrup, almonds, soy sauce and custard, some coffee, Sticky, achingly sweet finish. A complete waste of expensive ingredients.
