Next up... the sister Te Aro location ...
Double espresso:
Big Bro espresso - roasted at the Leslieville Te Aro Roasted cafe- it's a blend of beans from Guatemala, Brazil and Sumatra. Served with a shot glass of sparkling water.
Appearance
Retro Demi tasse cup with shot glass of water. Dark rich marbled creama, dark brew
Aroma
Very spicy, herbal undertone - I pick up oregano, basil.
Taste
Dark chocolate with a distinct spiciness comes through. I pick up the herbal undertones that are noticeable in the aroma. Right off the bat I taste a brief sweetness at the very tip of my tongue, then this melds into a rich dark chocolate balanced mouth feel. There's no lingering after taste or flavour, my mouth is clean a moment after the bright finish.
Another tasty brew, I love that it's roasted locally - a great plus!
4.4/5
After I talked to the super friendly barista, she offered me a shot of their other espresso called Elevens blend - how could I refuse?!
Appearance
Lighter creama than the big bro, still a dark roast.
Aroma
Sweet like white chocolate, with a pleasant orange/ citrus undertone.
Taste
Surprisingly not sweet, which is more to my taste. Balanced and clean, I like this one a bit better than the big bro.
4.7/5
Great little shop in Ossington, definitely worth a visit :)
