The constructions

Roast bitterness and extraction heat. The cup is a tool for pace.

Connecticut shademildcomplement

Washed, medium-roast filter or a short espresso that is not scalding. The cup should reset pace, not roast the wrapper.

Ecuadorian Sumatramediumcomplement

Club espresso and a typical medium roast sit cleanly with spice wrappers. Let the cup cool; smoke slowly.

Maduro / San Andrésfullcomplement

Darker roast and a denser cup can meet leaf molasses. Keep sugar in the leaf, not only in the saucer.
