TEST RESULTS

Olympus was named after the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, paying homage to the champions that compete there and training constantly to do whatever it takes to win! I see why Traffic chose this name. Olympus is definitely what I would consider a "House Espresso." It has the boldness and body required for milk based drinks, but is still very solid on its own as a straight espresso. It's extremely versatile, and can handle any drink you throw at it! It has a classic sweet milk chocolate base almost like hot cocoa, with a thread of toasted almond that runs through it. The finish has a pleasant candied orange twist that ties everything together perfectly. This is the kind of espresso you can drink everyday, any way you want to drink it!
