Abstraction espresso blend is designed to create a well-balanced espresso shot — a creamy, milk chocolate base with fruity, citric, and slightly jammy undertones. Abstraction pairs excellent with milk, creating a harmonious blend with all of our milk-based espresso bevs.
 
Abstraction, in its general sense, is a conceptual process that gives freedom from specific, representational qualities from an object (think of abstract art on a canvas). Artists can remove, or abstract, certain elements to create a simplified form, encouraging the observer to not fixate on the actual object in mind, rather elicit a certain feeling/emotion while viewing the object. The purpose of our espresso blend — Abstraction — is to encourage the customer to not fixate on the specific nuances in the espresso beverage, rather take in the drink/experience at Canvas in a holistic manner.
 
 
 
Barista notes:
 
I find that our espresso when paired with milk has a malty smoothness that tastes like melted ice cream.
 
Feel free to play around with the ratios and/or extraction times. If you find that different parameters work well, let us know -- we love learning too!
