Santa Barbara Fiesta Cinnamon Flavored Coffee
Fiesta Cinnamon from Santa Barbara Roasting Co. is a Full City coffee blend sourced from Central and South America and finished with real cinnamon. It is designed for drinkers who want recognizable coffee structure beneath a direct, warming spice profile. The cinnamon is an added ingredient, not a naturally occurring tasting note, and the available supplier information does not identify individual countries, farms, cultivars, or post-harvest processes.

Roast Development and Cup Character
The Full City roast development should give the base blend enough body and caramelized sweetness to support the cinnamon without requiring flavored syrup in the cup. Expect a rounder, more developed profile than a light roast, with the spice becoming especially aromatic as the coffee is brewed. Because cinnamon is applied to the coffee, the flavor will be more explicit and consistent than a subtle origin-derived spice note.
Brewing Guidance
For automatic drip, begin with about 60 grams of coffee per liter of water, or a 1:16 brew ratio. A 20-gram dose with 320 grams of water is a useful starting recipe. Use a medium grind and adjust by taste: grind finer if the beverage is thin or under-extracted, and coarser if the finish becomes bitter, dry, or overly intense. For pour-over, use a medium-fine grind and an even pour to control drawdown. Fiesta Cinnamon also works well as iced coffee; brew slightly stronger so melting ice does not flatten its body or spice.
Grind, Freshness, and Equipment
Choose whole bean when you want to control grind size and brew immediately after grinding. The drip, fine paper-cone, and coarse French-press options are useful when a grinder is not available. Flavored coffee can leave cinnamon aroma in a grinder or brewer, so brush out retained grounds before switching to an unflavored coffee. A low-retention Turin DF54 grinder helps limit carryover between doses. Store the coffee sealed, cool, dry, and away from light; let recently roasted coffee degas before making final grind adjustments.
Who This Coffee Is For
Fiesta Cinnamon fits customers who enjoy flavored coffee but still want the body of a developed roast underneath the seasoning. It is particularly suitable for morning drip coffee, café au lait, and iced drinks with milk or oat milk. Cinnamon reads more clearly without heavy sweetener, so taste the brewed coffee before adding sugar.
Practical Dial-In Checklist
Use a scale, keep the water quantity fixed, and change only one variable at a time. Begin with a moderate dose and evaluate aroma, sweetness, body, and finish after the cup cools slightly. If spice overwhelms the coffee, dilute the finished beverage or use a weaker ratio rather than extending brew time. Clean the grinder chute, brew basket, and carafe afterward to reduce cinnamon carryover.
