Building on the legacy of 1st Parallel, this blend adds a creamy peanut dimension that rounds out the cup with luxurious warmth. Designed primarily for milk drinks, 48th Parallel also excels across a range of brew methods—from AeroPress, pour over to French press. The peanut note folds seamlessly into the 5-bean blend’s dark chocolate foundation. As a standalone espresso, it’s indulgently bittersweet, leading into a creamed peanut finish that lingers long after the sip. 48th Parallel is a comfort-forward counterpart to 1st Parallel—familiar, but with added richness that invites exploration.
