12.02 Blend

Introducing 12.02 Blend – The Foundation of Omega Espresso

12.02 Blend is the heart of our espresso program, offering a rich and smooth profile with Dark Chocolate, Vanilla, Brown Sugar, and Berries. Designed to shine as a stunning espresso but versatile enough for filter brewing, this blend delivers a consistently cozy, complex cup that coffee lovers can enjoy daily.  

Crafted from a rotating selection of Washed Process coffees from South America and a Natural Processed Ethiopian, 12.02 celebrates a tribute to the grand opening of our very first coffee shop—The Omega Coffee Bar, which opened on December 2nd.  

As you sip, bold chocolate washes over your palate, seamlessly revealing subtle undertones of vanilla, brown sugar, and berries for a perfectly balanced experience.  

Our coffees contain no natural or artificial flavorings; the listed tasting notes come purely from the coffee’s inherent qualities, enhanced by our precise roasting methods to showcase its natural sweetness.
