There is a reason the Gringo Cafe De Olla coffee was the first release of flavored coffee for Whiskey Morning Coffee. After tasting all 12 flavors that will be released the brown sugar and cinnamon coffee was the favorite. If you want to order a bag of Gringos Cafe De Olla, click here.
What is Cafe De Olla?
Cafe De Olla is a classic Mexican coffee recipe. Traditionally the coffee would be made in a clay pot. After brewing Piloncillo (Dark Raw Brown Sugar) and cinnamon is added to the coffee. After mixed the coffee would also be served in a clay coffee mug.
How it is Made
Gringo Cafe De Olla is first started by taking a Guatemalan coffee bean and roasting to a medium roast. The Guatemalan coffee will have a natural chocolate undertone and be full bodied.
After roasting, Whiskey Morning Coffee takes real Mexican dark raw brown sugar (Piloncillo) and grinds it directly into the coffee grounds. After the piloncillo, fresh cinnamon is added into the coffee grounds. The coffee is mixed, packed, and shipped to your door the same day.
How it Taste
This is an easy brown sugar cinnamon coffee. Once you get your bag of coffee you just open the bag and brew regularly. Use 2 tablespoons of coffee per 6oz of water.
The Coffee will have a cinnamon aroma, and switch to a dark brown sugar aroma when brewing. When tasting the coffee, it will have an initial cinnamon flavor with slight sweet after finish from the piloncillo. The Gringo Cafe De Olla is an easy to drink coffee black.
