Coffee usually arrives in a mug. Wake the Dead gives it another assignment.
The ZSR blend uses Colorado espresso alongside chile, paprika, rosemary and other spices to create a roasted, savory direction. The coffee contributes depth, not an instruction to make dinner taste like a morning latte.
Inside the story
That kind of flavor can be useful when a cook wants something deeper on a roast, in a sauce or with hearty vegetables. The right amount depends on the dish and the rest of its ingredients. We encourage cooks to start with a manageable quantity and adjust.
Wake the Dead also illustrates the thinking behind our all-purpose line. We don't want unusual ingredients to be novelty for its own sake. The combination should offer a recognizable result that makes somebody think of a second meal worth trying.
The blend's personality is bold. Its job in the kitchen is practical: give cooks one more way to build flavor.
