After releasing Fonte Coffee’s first blend, the F1, Paul Odom and Steve Smith continued to tweak and improve upon the recipe to develop the F2. It comprises primarily beans from Brazil for a dark-chocolate foundation; roaster Steve Smith added some Guatemalan beans for acidity, Kenyan for fruit notes, and Indonesian for body and structure. Its sweet and delicate fruit flavors are thoughtfully curated, making this roast Fonte’s go-to for espressos and Americanos.
