Buy 1kg of our beautiful 100% Arabica - medium/dark roast whole coffee beans - the classic Northern Italian-style espresso formula
This coffee was a medal winner at Golden Bean 2010 and again in 2011 taking out a Bronze in the Espresso category.
Traditional Italian-style espresso blend.
Exceptional crema, low tending to neutral acidity, hints of chocolate and a great lingering after-taste from the smooth, sweet, fruity syrup of the Ethiopian.
We use quality Brazil, Sumatran and Ethiopian beans in this 100% Arabica blend.
The key to why this coffee is so good is the way it's roasted and we are very confident this coffee will exceed your expectations of a quality espresso.
Acidity: Low to medium
Body: Full
Aroma: Nut and spice with a berry twist
Flavour: Caramel with residual sweetness of berries and chocolate. Rich and intense.
Roaster's Notes
Everyone thinks a Northern Italian-inspired blend should be dark roasted. We disagree.
The reason they roast dark is because they source lower-grade, defect-laden beans that must be roasted dark so the taints and defects disappear up the chimney.
This is a medium-dark roast, although roast level is really a very misleading indicator these day.
We roast this coffee to a point that balances the true character of the beans, the fruit and the caramelization of the sugars.
If you are looking for a dark roast with tons of bitter bight, can I suggest the supermarket shelves - this espresso is about rich, smooth, sweet flavors.
