Old Skool Espresso Blend
Despite the name, the listing gives a single origin: natural Brazil, Yellow and Red Catuai. The notes read Nutella, brown sugar and cocoa, which is exactly what you'd want under milk. Perc sells it as an espresso roast, at medium.
Pick it if Nutella and brown sugar sound good to you.
