Philz Coffee Tesora

Tesora, which translates to treasure in Italian, is Philz Coffee's signature medium roast blend. It is characterized by highly approachable flavor notes of dark chocolate, cherry, and hazelnut. The roasting process is specifically tuned to bring out a smooth, balanced profile that lacks the harsh bitterness of dark roasts.

Yes, while Philz traditionally brews its coffee using pour-over methods, Tesora makes an excellent espresso base. Its chocolatey undertones create a rich, syrupy espresso shot that pairs beautifully with milk for lattes. Many home baristas use Tesora to recreate Philz's famous Iced Coffee Mint or Gingersnap Iced Coffee at home.

The Tesora blend is meticulously curated from high-quality Arabica beans sourced primarily from regions in South and Central America. While the exact bean origins can rotate seasonally to maintain flavor consistency, countries like Brazil frequently feature in the blend. This sourcing strategy ensures the signature chocolate and nutty notes remain prominent year-round.

To truly replicate the Philz experience, a pour-over method using a V60 or Chemex is highly recommended to extract the sweet cherry and chocolate notes. However, it also performs excellently in a standard drip coffee maker or a French press. For best results, use a medium grind and water just off the boil.
