Espresso Roman in Vacuum Bag
We have a new vacuum packed 12oz. Espresso Roman Bang. Since we are custom Blenders, we’ve blended a deep smooth new espresso. The combination is a single origin Venezuelan Maracaibo with our Italian Roast. Overtones of dark chocolate cocoa and smooth dense coffee taste without being bitter. The best espresso coffees are blends of different combinations of beans. Try to create your own blend.
Sensuous Bean is One of the Top Ten in NYC!
Take a look at the coverage of our little shop as one of New York City’s Best Tea Spots:
Flavored Coffee
We have in house a blissful Strawberry coffee and Red Velvet Cupcake, or any blend you want. All natural flavoring which the roasted bean absorbs right after they roast in barrels filled with these liquids and elixirs of true essence to complete the flavor process.
No sugar, no additives, no calories. Just Heavenly taste.
Tesane Tea
Tesane started in France as a personal signature fragrance for a young adolescent girl. That essence was for her…now it’s popular to drink warm Tesane tea-like drinks. Each Tesane is made of combinations of fruits, rooibos, and various particular blueberries, blood oranges, lemongrass, hibiscus, and let’s not forget rosehips. We sell at least 10 types of Tesane and combinations can be made for specific palates.
Enjoy your day and Think Tea!
Tippy China Yunnan
Tippy China Yunnan Tea Yunnan is the birth place of Tea. South West in China, south of the Clouds. Yunnan tea is golden slender tipped leaves. Traditional for morning or early afternoon. A full taste with a slightly smoky finish. ENJOY!
Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe, formerly Rhodesia, has been exporting excellent coffee beans similar to a great Kenya. It is a wet-processed growing region with medium sized farms mainly from the Chipinge region near Mozambique. A truly complex body of winey and berry. The best small estate farms are Smaldeel and La Lucie. We at the Sensuous Bean sell much of this underestimated bean. We hit it with some of our own house Vienna, made of Colombian Excelso and Brazilan Bourbon. That’s a long secret of the Sensuous Bean, that is our very own Vienna roast.
Tip of the Andes
This coffee is hand sorted. Grown in the highest altitudes of the Andes, it’s extremely rich in flavor, mellowness, and aroma with a very low acidic level. It’s truly respected by connoisseurs.
Bourbon Coffee Beans
Bourbon is a botanical variety of coffee arabica–Bourbon first appeared on the island of BOURBON, now REUNION, Some of the best Latin American coffees are from Bourbon stock….
Aged Sumatra
The Sumatra bean goes through a sweating process and then the green is roasted to a perfect blonde or Vienna roast. Thus the Sumatran coffees are best from the Mandeling region. They are low in acid and topped with a syrup undertone hinting of chocolate.
Sumatra beans were lost for over 100 years, then found again to be cultivated in the Mandeling area. Of course, not all Sumatra coffees sweat, but we choose to buy the beans that go through that process. Years ago all coffee beans went through the sweating process simply because of the journey of travel shipping, thus taking on various diverse tastes – more than in their native regions and origins.
Maragogipe Bean
A very large bean, MARAGOGIPE, is called an Elephant Bean. Latin American in origin, this bean has a low acidity woody earthy taste. Most of these beans are origin from Guatemala. however the best are from Chiapas MEXICO. Though the hybrid grown on El Salvador is impressive with its soft citron full cup. HOWEVER always woody and earthy at the same time.
