About
Gato Bandido is playful and approachable, whether brewed or as espresso. This easy-drinking blend combines coffees from three iconic origins. At its core, a high-altitude Guatemalan coffee provides a rich structure and balance with subtle chocolate notes. The blend is enhanced by the dry fruit tones, brightness, and great body of a Kenyan coffee, alongside the deeper complexity and rounded character of a Sumatra Mandheling, resulting in a dynamic and well-balanced cup.
